A world of 'Idioms' and what to do with them. Welcome to Grammarist

What is an Idiom and How can it be a help to you? Hello Fellow Grammarists! Here is an example of an idiom. Ever wondered if something is partly good and partly bad? Think about that in everyday life. How can something be this and that? Well the concept comes from an idiom known as a “curate’s egg”. [“A curate’s egg is something that is partly good and partly bad. A curate is a junior cleric. We are fortunate to know the exact origin of the term curate’s egg. It can be traced back to a cartoon published in Punch magazine issue November 9, 1895, drawn by George du Maurier…”] “I’m afraid you got a bad egg Mr. Jones.” “Oh,no, my lord, I assure you many parts of it are quite excellent.” Source Credit: Wikimedia Commons Look at what else you will find interesting at Grammarist. - You may be surprised to see how “[Explicit vs Implicit]” can affect your writing style in many ways.
