Welcome to the A to Z english podcast.
My name is Jack, and today we have, I'm here with my co host, Sochil, of course.
And we have a kind of short format episode for you again.
And we're going to discuss one idiom.
So social, what is our idiom for today?
Jack?
Our idiom for today is cold feet.
To get cold feet or to have cold feet.
Would you like to describe to our viewers what that means?
What do you think that means for you?
Well, I know that the literal meaning means, like, you have poor circulation in your body and so your, your feet are cold or your hands are cold.
But obviously, idioms are not literal.
They're metaphorical.
And so in the case of cold feet, it means a fear, a fear of doing something.
Like, for example, a child might want to learn how to dive into a pool.
And so the child walks up to the diving board, walks to the end of the diving board, and then turns around and leaves and doesn't do it because they got scared.
They got cold feet.
Right?
Yeah.
People also say that about weddings pretty often, like before the bride and groom see each other, like, oh, don't get cold feet.
