  • Welcome to the 80s English Podcast.

  • My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co-host, Xochitl.

  • And today we are going to do three more idioms for you.

  • And Xochitl, today's idioms are related to not understanding something.

  • Again, these are very relatable to me.

  • So the first one is to go over one's head.

  • To go over one's head.

  • It means that you didn't quite catch or understand something.

  • Like if someone made a joke and you didn't understand the joke, it went over your head.

  • Exactly.

  • Yes.

  • That's a really good definition or good example, because I think that,

  • you know, there's a lot of people that will reference like a book or.

  • an author or someone famous, a scientist or something.

  • And if you don't know who that person is, then the whole conversation can go over your head.

  • So yeah, I think it's pretty common.

  • I think we use this idiom quite a bit as well, if I'm not mistaken.

  • Do you use it?

  • Yes.

  • Yes, it's very common.
