Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words. Currently, we’re looking at some common English idioms.
be fed up with: to have enough of a particular situation, to reach one’s limit of tolerance
Example:
I am fed up with Tom’s irresponsibility. I am not going to appoint him to any more positions of leadership, that’s for sure!
be kidding: to say something in jest, to say something that is not intended to be taken seriously
Example:
Don’t worry, Santa didn’t really fall off the roof and break his leg. Daddy was just kidding.
