  • And today we are going to talk about three idioms.

  • Xochitl, I have three idioms that are related to missing out on something.

  • You, you got there too late or did something too late.

  • Like I, a good example would be that if.

  • One of your students comes in and is like, hey, professor, I want to turn in this assignment.

  • And it's like a monthly.

  • You're going to be like you missed the boat on that one.

  • Yes, that's a great example right there.

  • I'm just looking at the dictionary definition is to miss an opportunity.
