IDIOMS

It's June! The beginning of summer and the end of the school year. A very sad time all round :(
But to cheer you up, I've brought you this final dose of idioms. Enjoy them and try to use in these days. It's the best way to learn new expressions.
COME ON! GO ON! ;D

IDIOM (n): an expression, word, or phrase that has a figurative meaning that is separate from the literal meaning or definition of the words of which it is made.

A face like thunder

Face like a wet weekend
