رد: ❖ Let's sharing idioms ❖
Note: When someone says this idiom, it is NOT a compliment.
Meaning of Have your head in the clouds
This idiom can be used in two situations:
MEANING 1
To be out of touch with the everyday world and to be unrealistic because of it.
To be living in a fantasy (world).
To have impractical ideas or dreams. Sometimes the person doesn’t know the facts or reality of the situation.
MEANING 2
To be daydreaming and not paying attention to what is happening around you right now.
You are physically present but your mind and thoughts are somewhere else.
You are distracted from the present.
This idiom is often used when the other person is not paying attention.
The meaning of Icing on the cake
Simple definition: Something that makes a good situation even better or a bad situation even worse.
The icing on the cake has two meanings and they strangely happen to be opposites.
This idiom can be used in a positive sense and a negative sense.
Positive meaning = an additional good thing happens to something that is already good or positive making that situation even better.
Negative meaning = an additional bad thing is added to another bad thing that has already happened making the situation worse. In this case the idiom is used in a sarcastic (or ironic) way.
