Idioms 😍Professional English | Eng Vocabulary
hello
as we all know idioms are a very common part of the english language and im sure i don't need to tell you that they are challenging to learnand use
and that's because the meaning of the whol idiom is often different of the individual meaning of each word in it but that's no a reason to jump ship (to abandon somthing)
In this lesson, I’ll share some fantastic idioms that are all about... sailing! ⛵️⛵️⛵️
But of course, they are IDIOMS…
So, just because the words ‘sail’ or ‘sailing’ or ‘ship’ or ‘boat’ appear, doesn’t mean you have to be on the water to use them!!
They are commonly used in everyday situations, that have nothing to do with sailing or boating at all! Many of these idioms are used in professional contexts, or even when talking casually about work.
starting with
1- to get someone on board
useally the term "on board" is used when you're travling on a ship or on a plane
but this consept is olso used to say that someone agrees with an idea , an opinion or a plan to get something done
exp : it's a great idea ,but you need to get simon on board if you want to make it happen !
--------------------------------------------------
2-to jump ship
now tradionally this expression was used on a boat when a sailor left a ship without permission .
but this days this idiom is often used when someone leaves a difficulte situation when really they should stay and deal with it
it can also be used when a person deserts someone or a group of people leaving them to deal with a problem
exp : if i got offered the same job but with a higher salary ,of course i'd jump ship
-------------------------------------
3-SMOOTH SAILING
to say that something is easy and manageabl
exp :we had some problems early on , but it's been smooth sailing since we hired a project manager !
