There are so many times when we talk about these types of phrases and those types of
phrases , but it's few times we talk about. daily life phrases because not all the times
we are in different types of conditions. We have to live realistically as well. And in
real live there are multiple phrases we can use to talk about situations day in and day
out . Ladies and Gentlemen, my name is Hridhaan and I welcome you to today's lesson which
is all about - 10 Smart Phrases For Daily Life Conversations. The 10 smart phrases that
you can use in your daily life when it comes to making use of the language. So what are
we waiting for, let's get started.
the first phrase that we have in the list today is - ADD INSULT TO INJURY Recently I
heard this phrases in a song and I thought, why not include it in the lesson today, it
basically means - to make a bad situation worse. A lot of times it happens that, we
are doing a task but in-evidently, by...uhh .. universal forces, something becomes all
the more worse. In that situation we can use - Add Insult To Injury. Let's see how we can
use it in an example - first, the bathroom flooded, and then to add insult to the injury
the tap started leaking. So, possibly (laughs) this is a funny situation, that can happen
with anybody. Sometimes.. Sometimes when it's leaking, on top of it other two taps leak
and your bathroom floods up. in that situation you can say - Add Insult To Injury - when
a situation which is already bad becomes all the more bad.
let us look at the next phrase that we have and that is - A HOT POTATO - It means a problem
or a situation that is difficult to deal with. A lot of time we have problems in daily life.
And when they are difficult to find the solution, when they are difficult to deal with, we can
say - It's a hot potato. for example - The recent Pandemic has been a hot potato for
many countries. Wouldn't you agree? Absolutely! the pandemic we've gone through, the lockdown
situation, health issues all of these are problems that are difficult to deal with.
And that is why we say, those were - A Hot Potato. Let's look at the next example - Racist statement by the actor turned into
