Watching your videos in the night isn't the best way to make them fruitful: I might take a leaf out of my husband's book and start wathching them in the morning. But this is a really tall order for me, due to my job: I'm working on a six-month project and my days are numbered. Would it be a hare-brained idea studying English in the morning and working in the night? I guess I'll find it out in six months and that will be the proof of the pudding. I have to admit that making these sentences up is amusing, but I'm afraid I'm getting the wrong end of the stick; certainly, creating weird content is something I'm used to, but this one really takes the biscuit. In order to achieve my goal and use all the idioms, now I should think about someone I trusted and I put on a pedestal: sadly, I remember a friend (former friend) who lined his pockets with charity money. I don't like to end on a sad note but I have to, so...let's call it a day. Thanks Ben, as always!

I've heard many times 'the short end of the stick' that I think means to have the worst part of something, or a bad purchase, maybe between two people, like the one that gets the short end of a stick is the one that loses, or is going to loose. I'm doing my exam in an hour and I haven't prepared 😅, I booked the exam in the spur of the moment, good think I bought the re-seat option 😂.

@aporsebestyen4509 Месяц назад

It's interesting, in Hungarian we have the idiom "the proof of the pudding is the eating". So it is longer than the English one and we say it in any context without pointing out what the actual "proof" in the given situation is. Thanks for this great lesson Ben!

@tothepointenglishwithben. Месяц назад

Yes, it's the same in English. We don't always need to specify what the "proof" is, but sometimes is necessary. Glad you liked the video 🙂

@teacherjeremyford6625 Месяц назад

When I was growing up, "Taking a leaf out of someone's book," was either and both positive and negative. It just meant copying someone. When my brother was misbehaving, my aunt said he was taking a leaf out of my cousin's book. And, I've heard it used by others, mostly my family but still, as positive or negative.

@tothepointenglishwithben. Месяц назад

Interesting. To me, it sounds strange to use it in that way.

Hi Ben! Today I had my CAE speaking exam. [VENTING ALERT] As I really enjoyed preparing for it with your videos I feel that I failed you so terribly 🥲 I used some knowledge I gained by watching your simulations, especially with Craig and Zdenek (I love his attitude), but I didn’t manage to avoid dead air (these horrible moments felt like hours) and my answer for Part 2 questions was particularly poor. I really doubt I’ll pass this exam. The only positive thing about it is probably that I’ll have more motivation to study harder and probably make use of more of your videos. Thank you for your hard work! You are truly one of a kind!

@tothepointenglishwithben. Месяц назад

It's quite normal for students to feel that way immediately after taking the exam. You may feel frustrated because you didn't do as well as you feel you could have, but I suspect that you've done enough to pass. You can only wait for the results now. Let me know when you get them.

Hello Ben. I think I can give an example of three of these idioms about Mexico's president's projects. The president's sons are lining their pockets with overly profits from the hare-brained project called "tren maya" (Maya railroad), which is bound to fail due to lack of environment studies of the ground, and low-quality materials used on the railways. This project really takes the biscuit over other failed or go-to-fail projects. In addition, Mexico has had bad presidents, but Lopez Obrador takes the biscuit by far.

It's true that "take the biscuit" is almost exclusively used in negative contexts nowadays, but it technically can be used in positive situations. Eg. "I like all the author's books, but his latest novel takes the biscuit." dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/take-the-biscuit
