USEFUL EXPRESSIONS FOR BUSINESS STUDENTS
Hello, folks! From now on, I´m writing some posts about very useful expressions in English you can use to communicate better. So let´s start! AIRY-FAIRY This expression is very common in the UK and means something "unreal, difficult to put into practice". Example: I´m sick of his airy-fairy ideas! Estou farto das ideias impraticáveis dele! AN ARM AND A LEG This expression means "very expensive, too much money". Like in Portuguese when we say: "os olhos da cara". Example: This suit cost me an arm and a leg. AS IF! This expression is used when you want to be a bit ironic, when you consider something really difficult to happen, although you´d love to. Like the Portuguese expression: "quem me dera!". Example: A - I´m sure your boss will give you a pay rise. B - As if!
