Lockdown Day 223 - 4 November 2020
Today I heard two good sayings. The first one is, "I am under the weather" and the second is, "Okay Lord, I'm out, please take the wheel." This prompted me to do some research, seeing as that robbed me from getting better marks.
I found an idiom is a phrase of which the meaning of its individual words and the whole meaning are completely different (no wonder I never got them right). Example: to rub someone the wrong way means to irritate someone.
On the other hand, a proverb is a short saying that advises about life things or expresses a belief. Example: Don't cry over spilled milk.
A saying can be a combination of both. " My first example," I am under the weather" can mean I am sick. Or it can mean I am in a bad mood. Or it can mean I am really caught in bad weather.
So, I decided to share a few funny ones I found (enjoy!) :
Words can build us up, and these in Proverbs 16:24 are beautiful:
"Nothing is more appealing than speaking beautiful, life-giving words. For they release sweetness to our souls and inner healing to our spirits.
"
