Idioms to describe people and their personality type - English Grammar lesson
Blog : http://www.learnex.in/spoken-e....nglish-lesson-idioms
In today’s Spoken English lesson we are learning idioms that can be used to describe people. When you think of your folks, friends and colleagues, you come across individuals with different personality traits or character. These characters are very different from each other and is the unique differentiating factor through which we are identified.
Website : http://www.letstalkpodcast.com
Facebook Fan Page : http://www.facebook.com/letstalkpodcast
My challenge for you today is to watch the complete English lesson and choose one of the idioms for yourself and leave me in the comments the idiom that best describes you. I’m really excited to read the idiom you choose for yourself
DAREDEVIL
A daredevil is a person who takes unnecessary risks and does extremely dangerous activities just to seek attention.
Example : John’s daredevil stunts with the skate board are sure to end in a disaster someday.
CRYBABY
This idiom is specifically used for adults who always complain for very little things in life. Their complaints are for no reasons and they sometimes even cry about it.
Example : When Michelle’s brother complained about the train being late, she told him not to be a crybaby.
CHEAPSTAKE
People who probably have a lot of money but are very careful while spending their money or they don’t spent it freely can be called as cheapstake. You could also call such a person ‘Stingy’. In other words they avoid spending money to an extreme degree.
Example : William is such a cheapstake, he always buys clothes at a sale and sees how he could further discount them.
BARREL OF LAUGH
You could call someone a barrel of laugh, who is very funny and makes you laugh all the time with their funny jokes for every situation. Over years the meaning of this idiom has changed and could be also used for people who have an annoying sense of humor.
Example – This replica of the board game on mobile is a barrel of laughs.
ODDBALL
When you cannot predict what some people might just do or say, you could call them as an ‘Oddball’
Example : My manager always has some oddball ideas at the meeting.
TROUBLEMAKER
People who create problems or difficulties for others on purpose or intentionally are called troublemakers.
