Learn 11 Odd Metaphors in English (What do they mean???)

So if you’d like to know what alandslide victory is, or a U-turn, or a final whistle, you’ll find the answer here! After watching, you can test your understanding of these metaphors with the quiz.

Thank you so much, Gill !
Thank you for your lesson; it was beneficial.
9/10 thx
Gill collected a bunch of colourful idioms which are often used among politicians. I like her explanations of each lesson that are the best I have ever heard from a teacher before. I am very sorry that she has passed in 2024.
It was an excellent video. Thanks so much
