pandorea Posted March 21, 2009 Report Share Posted March 21, 2009 Just for fun. Native-English speaking members, please feel free to teach us(Thai) more about English idioms- American idioms. Very simple rule, you post an idiom then the next person makes a sentence out of it- or/and explain the meaning of it. Example : Pandorea 1 : ?Take (someone or something) for granted? Pandorea 2 : meaning : to expect someone or something to be always available to serve in some way without thanks or recognition; to value someone or something too lightly: ?I take my husbands love for granted, if I gained 15 kg he will still love me? ?Make a monkey of someone?

Meaning :It's difficult to make someone change the way they do something when they have been doing it the same way for a long time. ?At the park you try to teach a dog a brand new trick You take a ball and toss it far and then you say "go get it" You know you can't teach an old dog new tricks He only knows what he may No you can't teach an old dog new tricks He'll only curl his tail and run away? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRxEOyeRstk Next "Roll out the red carpet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandorea Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Pig in a poke It has the same meaning as ? kitten i saekken? (cat in a sack). If you didn't check your poke carefully before you buy it, you would later find it didn't contain a pig. Exp : A 50 years old man : ?She's the one for me, we have been chatting for months now. I really want to meet her. I?m going to send her some money for visa and airplane ticket. So she could come and visit me here? His friend : ?Don?t be silly, do you really want to buy a pig in a poke?? A 50 years old man : ?I'll take my chances.?
