On the go 忙个不停

TRUMP CARD: a special advantage. In card games, a trump suit has greater power than the others. New York Times: <>

🖤Idiom Of The Day 🖤”To set something to music” – to write a piece of music that is related to some written material 🖤”The poem is very famous and has been set to music many times.” 🖤”The composer has worked hard to set many great stories to music.”

A THING OR TWO: a lot. Used with “know” or “teach.” I know a thing or two about fishing boats. I worked on a salmon boat in Alaska one summer.

💙Idiom Of The Day 💙”Escape one’s notice” – to not be noticed 💙”The fact that my library books were overdue escaped my notice.” 💙”The hard work of the employee did not escape the manager’s notice.” 💙”My appointment with the dentist escaped my notice.”

RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER: happening soon. An American politician during the Great Depression liked to say, “Prosperity is right around the corner.”

SHAKE ON (something): agree to something; shake hands and agree to something. Quartz: <
