Hello, today we're going to do five terrifying idioms
the first terrifying idiom is
to have goosebumps or something gives you goosebumps
Geese are cute. I thought this was supposed to be a terrifying Halloween lesson
When you get goosebumps, it's the same feeling as when you get cold
your little hairs stand on end but it's not because you're cold
it's because you feel fear or if you hear a nice song
- You know what gives me goosebumps? - What?
Haunted houses, hearing noises in the dark
being alone in the cemetery
what gives you goosebumps?
Enya. her voice is heavenly
Our second terrifying idiom is
to have butterflies in your tummy / stomach
Butterflies aren't scary either
when you have that nervous feeling in your tummy
like little scary butterflies are flying inside you
you have butterflies
For example: I saw a pretty girl, I love her
when she talks to me I get butterflies!
This is a Halloween lesson, please try and be more dark and sinister
What gives you butterflies?
Nothing. I'm dead inside I have no emotions
Our third awful idiom is
- To be in high spirits! - Oh my god, that means you're happy!
Yes. Terribly happy!
we usually say this when you're in a visibly good mood
or perhaps you have more energy than usual
This isn't scary
For example: "His motivational speeches put everyone in high spirits"
what puts you in high spirits?
death
The next idiom is
to get the heebie-jeebies / the willies
or something creeps me out
That's a bit better
When you feel uncomfortable, or when your skin goes "Urrrgh!"
you can say it gives me the willies or the heebie-jeebies
or this creeps me out
This is better I like this one
I often get the heebie-jeebies when I walk alone in the dark
You're never alone I'm always watching you
That's creepy
Our final idiom is to have a stab at something
okay good, finally.
When you attempt something that you've never tried before you have a stab at it!
All right calm down
Would you like to have a stab at giving us an example?
Sure I've never learnt Chinese I'm dying to learn
well you're very clever
You should have a stab at it!
You could make this more interesting with "a stab in the dark"
This means when you guess something and you're really not sure if you're right
or if you try something which has very little chance of actually working
- What's the time? - I'm going to have a stab in the dark and say 5:30
It was just a stab in the dark when I tried to park the car. I can't drive.
- Did you run anyone over? - Yes - Good
