47 right. Never heard of “go pear shaped” and I also thought “sail close to the wind” meant play it safe. I totally disagree that “see stars” means exhausted. It means to be dazed (confused).
@ricksmith2134 Wow, 47 out of 50 is impressive! Well done! Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the idioms. “Go pear-shaped” is a British idiom that means something has gone wrong or not as planned-it's a bit less common outside the UK. As for “sail close to the wind,” it actually means to take risks, especially when it comes to bending rules or ethics. It's interesting how idioms can vary in interpretation! You're right that “seeing stars” can also mean to be dazed or confused, especially after a blow to the head. I see how that could be interpreted as dazed rather than exhausted, though sometimes the feeling of exhaustion can lead to a similar sensation. Language is fascinating in how it's open to interpretation!
@mariannegibbons624 Great score! You're right 'Seeing stars' can indeed mean experiencing pain or dizziness, often after a bump on the head. Idioms can sometimes have multiple meanings depending on the context, which makes them so interesting. Thanks for participating and sharing your thoughts!
@gerrydunne9674 Great observation! You're right 'Seeing stars' can also mean feeling dazed or confused, often after a bump on the head. Idioms can have slightly different interpretations depending on the context. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
@wendysinclair-smith984 Thanks for your comment! You're absolutely right-'Strike a chord' can indeed mean to 'resonate,' 'understand,' or 'identify with,' depending on the context. Idioms often have nuanced meanings, so it's great to see viewers like you diving deep into the interpretation. I appreciate your insight, and thanks for participating in the challenge!
@lalithanagarajan1055 You're absolutely right! 'Shake a leg' can definitely refer to dancing as well. While it's often used to encourage someone to hurry up, it's also been used as a fun way to say 'start dancing.' Thanks for pointing that out and adding to the conversation!
@laurafranich4807 Haha, those were the days! It's funny how literally we took things as kids. Thanks for sharing that memory! Hope you scored well in the challenge too!
Overall this was very interesting. As a native English speaker I only really new about 30 of these for sure. I had a fairly good idea of and/or was able to deduce many others. I confused "Pig headed" with "Big headed"! I cannot give an honest score because I looked some of them up before seeing the answers. There were about 8 I had either never heard of or simply did not know. The sailing one was the most bizarre. I learnt a lot. Thanks for uploading.
@griffintroster5229 Thank you so much for your detailed and insightful comment! I'm glad you found the quiz interesting and that it offered some new learning moments, even as a native speaker! It's always fascinating how idioms can sometimes surprise us or blend together like "pig-headed" and "big-headed." The sailing idiom is indeed one of the more unique ones! It's great to hear that you were able to deduce many of the others and that you found it valuable to look up some along the way-after all, it's all about expanding our knowledge. I appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoy future quizzes too!

@karenharris3183 Thank you for sharing your interpretation! Actually, "sail close to the wind" typically means to take risks or act just within the limits of what's acceptable. It's interesting how idioms can be perceived differently. Appreciate you watching the video!
@LaFloridaHemingway Great point! You're absolutely right-being a 'third wheel' is often about being the extra person in a situation where two people are already paired off, like in the 'three's a crowd' scenario. The feeling of being 'unwanted' can come with that extra-person dynamic, but it's definitely more about not fitting in or being the odd one out. Thanks for the thoughtful comment!
@patricejenkins-king5540 44/50 is a great score! I appreciate your feedback. If you found some of the answers questionable, please share your thoughts-I'd love to discuss and clarify! Thanks for taking on the challenge!
One more - seeing stars means confused, as in there are so many of them, you don't know which one to focus on. Like in cartoons when a character gets clobbered, you see a ring of stars circling their head beause they've been "knocked for a loop."
That’s a great observation! Seeing stars in cartoons often symbolizes disorientation or being knocked out of sorts. However, in idiomatic English, “seeing stars” usually refers to the sensation of dizziness or lightheadedness, often after a physical impact or sudden shock. It’s a bit different from being confused by too many options, but your interpretation is a creative take on the idea! Thanks for sharing your insight!
I got 46 by your score, 49 by mine. Lol. I never heard the pear-shaped one before. I say shake a leg when I'm going dancing. Strike a chord had no correct choice. You might have worded it "To have an emotional connection"
@wendysinclair-smith984 Thanks so much for your detailed feedback! Wow, 49 by your score-impressive! The 'pear-shaped' idiom can be a tricky one, it’s not as commonly heard, so no worries there. I love that you use 'shake a leg' for dancing! I really appreciate your suggestion about ‘strike a chord’-I’ll definitely keep that in mind for future quizzes. It’s great to hear your perspective. Keep up the fantastic work, and I hope you continue to enjoy the challenges!
@@wendysinclair-smith984That makes twice I've read that someone didn't get pear-shaped. Which surprised me, since I've known the meaning for decades. It's like saying everything went south, which essentially means it didn't go as planned or failed.
@griffintroster5229 Thank you for your input! You're absolutely right that 'born and bred' means someone was born and grew up in a particular place. In the context of the quiz, I was using 'resident' in a broader sense to imply someone with strong ties to a place, but I appreciate your detailed clarification. It's always great to have engaged viewers who help refine these nuances!
@hapa1716 Thank you so much for watching the video and for scoring 50/50-impressive! Regarding your feedback: You’re absolutely right! Typically, the phrase “fifth wheel” is used to describe something unnecessary or unwanted, whereas “third wheel” often refers to someone who feels awkward or out of place in a situation (like being the extra person in a couple’s outing). Great catch! “When it rains, it pours” is indeed the more common phrasing, meaning that once something starts happening, a lot more of it tends to follow. Thanks for pointing that out too!
It's interesting how different people interpret the same saying in different ways. I (for example) have always thought that the difference between ''third wheel'' and ''fifth wheel'' is .. A ''third wheel'' refers to something that is unwanted ( it's in the way and you don't need it) whereas a ''fifth wheel'' is something that is in the way now, but you accept it just in case you need it later (like the spare wheel in the boot of your car)
@emanmahmoud9439 Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled to hear you found the video useful. I'll definitely be sharing more daily idioms soon, so stay tuned for more challenges.
@griffintroster5229 Thank you for your comment! You're absolutely right that 'strike a chord' means to touch upon someone's emotions, which is what I intended to convey with the word 'emotionally.' While the phrase itself doesn't mean 'to do something emotionally,' it refers to triggering an emotional response in someone. I appreciate your input and will definitely keep this in mind for more clarity in the future. Thanks again for engaging with the quiz!
I got all of them except the one about seeing stars. I disagree with the meaning that has been provided. Seeing stars can also be used to describe when someone gets seriously knocked on the head and partially loses consciousness.
@julianneheindorf5757 Thanks so much for your feedback! You're absolutely right 'Seeing stars' is indeed commonly used to describe a sensation after getting hit on the head and feeling dizzy or partially losing consciousness.

@karenharris3183 Thank you for sharing your perspective! 'Born and bred' often emphasizes that someone has spent their whole life in a particular place, absorbing its culture and values. The phrase 'bred' in this context refers to being raised or brought up, which might explain the connection to the concept of thoroughbreds you mentioned. However, the idiom isn't necessarily about bloodlines or being 'raised well' in a literal sense-it's more about the environment and upbringing. But I appreciate your input, and it's always interesting to see how different people interpret idioms!
@raecrowe9514 Yeehaw! That's the Texan spirit right there! 💯 Born and bred, you must know how to wrangle those idioms like a pro! Thanks for watching and taking on the challenge!
@user-wh3pr3zv1k Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your input. The term "third wheel" is indeed a common colloquial expression, and while "fifth wheel" is also used, it typically refers to something redundant or unnecessary in a group of four. "Third wheel" more accurately captures the feeling of being an awkward addition to a pair, which is why it was used in this context. Both terms have their place in colloquial English, but "third wheel" is more commonly associated with social situations involving couples. Thanks again for engaging with the quiz!
@griffintroster5229 Thank you for your feedback! While 'seeing stars' is often associated with dizziness or getting hit in the head, in some contexts it can also mean feeling extremely exhausted or overwhelmed.

Brush up on means to review a topic, skill, etc. It never rains, but it pours is really When it rains, it pours.
Thanks for the feedback! You’re absolutely right-'brush up on' means to review or practice a skill, and 'When it rains, it pours' is indeed the correct idiom for situations where problems come all at once. I appreciate you pointing that out and helping keep the content accurate. If you have any other suggestions feel free to share!

Thanks for taking part in the challenge.
The test needs a little editing. You shouldn’t equate a verb (in the question section) with a noun in the answer. A couple expressions are doubtful-to me anyway.
@dt7286
Thank you so much for your feedback! I really appreciate you taking the time to point that out. I’ll definitely review the questions and answers to ensure they align more accurately. If you have specific examples of the expressions that seemed doubtful, feel free to share them-your input helps improve the content for everyone!

Brush up on means make a quick study of something, not revise it. The example is OK.
@user-wh3pr3zv1k
Thank you for your comment and for participating in the challenge! The phrase "brush up on" can indeed mean to quickly review or make a quick study of something. While "revise" is often used in British English to mean reviewing or studying something again, I appreciate your point that "brush up on" typically implies a quick or light review. It's great to see such engagement and attention to detail. Keep up the good work, and I hope you continue to enjoy and learn from the content on my channel!
Not study quickly but it means to quickly revise is brush up!

born and bred is like the thoroughbred born to race bred to race. to me that meant raised well blood lines. not your answer.
@karenharris3183
Thank you for sharing your perspective! 'Born and bred' often emphasizes that someone has spent their whole life in a particular place, absorbing its culture and values. The phrase 'bred' in this context refers to being raised or brought up, which might explain the connection to the concept of thoroughbreds you mentioned. However, the idiom isn't necessarily about bloodlines or being 'raised well' in a literal sense-it's more about the environment and upbringing. But I appreciate your input, and it's always interesting to see how different people interpret idioms!
I'm a Texan, born and bred, meaning 100% through and through.
@@raecrowe9514 that a blue blood. Right?

No 5 should be fifth wheel. Whoever made this quiz up doesn't speak colloquial English They are probably confusing it with three is a crowd.
@user-wh3pr3zv1k
Thank you for your comment! I appreciate your input. The term "third wheel" is indeed a common colloquial expression, and while "fifth wheel" is also used, it typically refers to something redundant or unnecessary in a group of four. "Third wheel" more accurately captures the feeling of being an awkward addition to a pair, which is why it was used in this context. Both terms have their place in colloquial English, but "third wheel" is more commonly associated with social situations involving couples. Thanks again for engaging with the quiz!
41 is wrong.
@griffintroster5229
Thank you for your feedback! While 'seeing stars' is often associated with dizziness or getting hit in the head, in some contexts it can also mean feeling extremely exhausted or overwhelmed. Idioms can sometimes have more than one interpretation depending on how they're used. I appreciate your input and hope you enjoyed the quiz!
