| Egg on Your Face |
| 12.16.03 (5:25 pm) [edit] |
This idiom comes from Emily, complete with her very own illustration!
When Kent split his pants in class, he had egg on his face.

The idiom "egg on my face" means to be very embarassed or humiliated for something foolish that you did or said.
This American saying is probably from the 1950's. It could have come from the image of a sloppy eater, embarassed because they had food on his face. Or it might have come from the custom of rude audiences in the old days throwing raw eggs at performers they did not like.

| Apple of My Eye |
| 12.10.03 (7:43 pm) [edit] |
This idiom comes from Yoceline. The meaning of "apple of my eye" is a person or thing that is greatly loved, treasured, and adored.
Did you know that this saying is used in the Bible? Ancient people believed that the pupil of the eye was solid and shaped like an apple. The pupil ("apple of the eye" ) was considered very precious because without it, you could not see.
Here is Yoceline's sentence:
[b]My little sister is the apple of my eye.[/b]
Can you come up with a sentence?
