Raise an Eyebrow

01.10.04 (10:42 am) [edit]

Jacqueline put her shoulder to the wheel when she came up with a very good sentence and an excellent illustration for the idiom "raise an eyebrow".

"Raise an eyebrow" means to surprise or shock people by doing or saying something ourtageous. It usually causes somebody to show disapproval in his or her facial expression.

This idiom is fairly modern and represents what happens to lots of people's faces when they see or hear something that really startles them. They raise their eyebrows.

Wow! I can't wait to hear the sentences the rest of you will make next week. You may even become idiom experts before this year is over! Wouldn't that be something?

Now, I hope I have some really good idiom detectives who are thinking so hard that new wrinkles are being made in those brains- thinking wrinkles, of course. Can anyone locate an additional idiom in these paragraphs?????
