Idioms. What's the big deal and why are they a part of our everyday language? It's likely to make sense of a situation or a concept. They are in fact, very useful. They are also way over used in certain settings, to the point of annoyance and even detriment. So what can we do about it?
In this episode, we discuss idioms, metaphors, jargon, similes. We dive right into... er, sorry, we begin this episode with a segment that may make many of you uncomfortable, and for this we apologize. It did the same to us, but we took the bull by the... eh hem, we, well we just took control and worked through it.
We encourage you to contact us if you suffer from idiom-overuse like Brandt and I do. Together, we can work through this.
