Happy Second Day Of Easter, for those of you celebrating.
\nAnd for those of you who aren’t, happy Monday!<\/p>\n

I love living in a country where Easter has 2 days. We always get the Monday off. I so enjoy Mondays, though! (If you hate Mondays, that usually means that you hate your job. Mondays are awesome!)<\/p>\n

I’d like to help you spice up your life today. When was the last time you used a new idiom or expression in English? I so want you to add more color to your language, and if you’re always using the same old expressions, that’s not happening.<\/p>\n

So let’s make it happen!<\/p>\n

The next time someone asks if they present a new idea to you, instead of saying ‘OK’, how about ‘I’m all ears<\/a>‘?<\/p>\n

If you think someone has stolen something, you can ask if they got a ‘five-finger discount’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Instead of starting again on a new project, how about ‘going back to square one<\/a>‘?<\/p>\n

And how about developing a new ‘game plan<\/a>‘ the next time you go into a strategy meeting?<\/p>\n

You know I’ll always\u00a0go the extra mile\u00a0<\/a>for you when it comes to helping you feel more confident in English (and hey, in life too, while we’re at it). I know it’s hard to\u00a0learn the ropes<\/a>– you’ve gotta\u00a0keep your eye on the ball\u00a0<\/a>at all times, or else you’ll be a\u00a0laggard<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There’s so many expressions you can find online (check all the embedded links for lots of new dictionaries you can\u00a0peruse<\/a>) or get cracking on the 100+ in my latest book\u00a0100 Ways To Save Your Ass In English<\/a>\u00a0(divided into handy categories, like Marketing and Sales, Networking, Efficiency, etc).<\/p>\n

I hope you get a chance to use these expressions today! Remember, you can always write me and I promise I will write you back!<\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me lose my egg when it comes to increasing your vocabulary!<\/p>\n

Now I’m off to find some more eggs outside!<\/p>\n

Have a great Monday!<\/p>\n
