RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Idioms)

in #newbiegames • 7 years ago

Ah, idioms! Love those @bengy!

Well, we're in the US... and these are somewhat from all over, though:

  1. "Jumping the Shark." Derived from an episode in the final season of the TV show "Happy Days;" means pulling a clearly desperate stunt in hopes of reviving something that should just be allowed to die.

  2. "That dog'll hunt!" A common expression from when we lived down in Texas; basically means an idea that will work.

  3. "Lost his/her vertical hold!" Another old southern US expression; basically means crazy/nutty; derived from early days in TV where the image would sometimes roll from top to bottom or vice versa.
