The May 24th weekend makes me think of the expression "Day in the Sun" - maybe because we have lots of days in the sun in the summer in Southern Ontario.
"When you have your day in the sun, you have achieved the highest possible level of success. You are at your peak. You are having a heyday. You are at your pinnacle or zenith of success." So I guess summer is our pinnacle season.
Some people might say that I am being too ambitious for this weekend. What about this expression - One swallow doesn’t make a summer:
"Although something good has happened, it doesn’t mean the situation will continue to be good, so you shouldn’t count on it"
But then again, aren't we walking on sunshine starting this weekend?
That means: "To be extremely happy"There seems to be a vast number of expressions and idioms in English. Is it English or French with the most idioms of any language? One would think there might be a count by country. The one count I can find is English: "There are at least 25,000 idiomatic expressions in English." Ask that question about French and you are sent to the idiom dictionary to scroll through them all. |
