Following what happened the other day, I caught one expresshon on youtube.
I learned this expression at Eigo forum's vocabulary.
I heard the phrase following " Leave no stone unturned".
All the text is as follows.
It is as it is.
However, I am very glad to know how that phrase is used in the common conversation.
The rainy season has started.
Today, I planed to go hiking to Mt.Yoshiwakanmuriyama with some of my friends.
However, last evening the weather forecast said that it would rain today and further more sometimes rain heavily.
So we cancelled today's schedule.
I've let me down.
What's worse, it was so muggy last night that I couldn't fell asleep.
This morning, when I got up, I was out of it and looked out the window.
It stopped raining and I found that the garden was really run-down and seemed to be a savannah.
The garden is overgrown with tall and lush weeds because the last time I pulled weeds was in March. That was 3 months ago.
I usually not cut weeds but pull weeds just like as I remove my unwanted hair such as underarm hair and eyeblows.
I thought I could pull weeds easily because the heavy rain made the soil moist.
I made up my mind to weed.
I've done one-third. It took one hour and half and the 3 rice bags were full of pulled weeds.
I was so sweaty that I jumped into the bath.
At the moment I went out of the bath, it started raining heavily again.
That's a way to go!
To expose myself to English, I listen to English conversation videos on you tube every day.
One morning, on the way to ballet studio, I catched one expression learned at Eigo forum's vocabulary.
I heard the phrase following "I put my foot in my mouth".
I did not double take but double listen.
"Put one's foot in one's mouth"!!
Yesssss! / Come Ooooon!
All the full text is as follows.
"Not knowing that Nancy had left him, I put foot in my mouth by asking Paul how she was."
It makes sense. Certainly it is a terrible slip of the tongue.
It is a big fun to come across the learned expression.
