Welcome to an a to Z idioms.
Today, Sochil and I are going to explain two idioms and give you some examples.
And don't forget to leave your own examples in the WhatsApp group, or send us an email at a to z podcastmail.com and we'll be happy to look at your examples.
All right, let's begin.
Idioms are out of the woods and can't see the forest for the trees.
And so let's start with the easier one first, out of the woods.
So, Chul, how would you describe that idiom?
Out of the woods?
Let's say that you're watching a horror movie, and in the horror movie it seems like everything has been resolved.
They beat the evil demon that's chasing them or whatever.
And then you go to pause the movie and you see that there's still half an hour left, so they're not out of the woods yet, which means the bad thing isn't over or you're not in the clear, so to speak.
Right.
And even that last half hour can be deceiving because a lot of times, if there's some kind of post credit seen, the people that we think are going to live in the horror movie end up dying anyway.
But I agree.
So we weren't out of the woods.
Yeah, you're never out of the woods in a, in a modern horror movie, in my opinion.
Um, true.
I was thinking of an example, uh, for, let's take like a school example where a student is in trouble and, you know, did something wrong, and the situation is very tense.
However, the principal says to the students, okay, we're going to give you one more chance.
Please don't misbehave again.
