Welcome to the eight is the english podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm one of the hosts of the podcast.
And today I'm doing a solo episode.
And this is an idioms episode.
And today's idiom is to steal someone's thunder.
To steal someone's thunder.
And this one is a fairly common idiom.
And this idiom means to take credit for something that someone else has done, or to overshadow someone's achievements or success by doing something similar, but usually more attention grabbing or significant.
For example, if someone worked hard on a project and was about to present their findings, but then a colleague presented a similar project just before them, getting all the attention and credit.
You could say the colleague stole their thunder.
I can think of another example that is actually kind of common.
I've heard of this happening before.
And so let's say that a couple is getting married.
It's the day of their wedding.
It's their wedding day, and that day is all about the bride and the groom.
That's it.
It should only be about the bride and the groom.
