Idioms Conversations
Conversation 1:
Sally: Charlie you really should pay attention in class.
Charlie: Well, I don’t get anything that the teacher is saying.
Sally: You are the only oddball in this class that doesn’t. Everything our teacher teaches is lifted right off the book.
Charlie: Well, it ain’t my fault that the teacher is so blah.
Sally: She isn’t that bad. When it comes to teachers you are just not open-minded.
Charlie: Well, when it comes to teachers you are a suck up, and all the marks you have in this class were handed to you on a silver platter.
Sally: You are just jealous because you can’t get A’s like me.

Conversation 2:
Brian: Hey Angel! Did you hear what happened in Mrs. Bee’s class? Bush and Clint got into a huge spat in the middle of class.
Angel: Yeah I know. Clint challenged Bush to take it outside. This fight is going to be so hype. Gosh, I don’t want to miss it! Do you have any clue as to where the fight might be?
Brian: Hey do you see that huge gathering by the back doors? Come on Angel, let’s get a move on.
(Brain and Angel are amongst the crowd watching Clint and Bush)
Angel: Clint just socked Bush in the head. That should get the ball rolling.
Brian: Ouch! Bush nailed Clint to the floor. They are neck and neck in this fight.
Angel: Well, I’m placing my money on Clint. When it comes down to it, I think Bush is yellow-bellied.
Brian: Well, I guess we’ll never know because the principal is on his way

Conversation 3:
Sharon: It was just so sunny yesterday! Now, it’s raining cats and dogs out there.
Jason: I guess your date tonight with Jerry is called off, right?
Sharon: Yeah I guess, since we can’t have a picnic now. I’m stuck at home tonight.
Jason: Well I think it’s a good thing. Take this as a sign that you are not ready to be going out with anyone yet. You just broke up with Philip and at the drop of a hat you are with the next guy.
Sharon: What do you have against Jerry, Jason? Stop beating around the bush, and just spill the beans.
Jason: Sharon, I don’t know why you are so naïve. Everyone knows that Jerry is a bad egg. Didn’t you hear what happened at his last two high schools before he transferred to our school.
Sharon: Come on Jason, give the boy a break. People change. Jason, I don’t want to discuss this, can we please just drop it?
Jason: Sure, I don’t want to push this issue

Conversation 4:
Fred: George, there is so much information being hurled at us in this English class.
Jessica: Yeah, and it’s all going in through one ear and coming out the other, right?
Fred: Actually, it’s all sinking in.
Jessica: Gosh Fred, what happened? You turned over a new leaf or something? You seem to have acquired this sudden thirst for knowledge.
Fred: I know! Out of the blue, I got this sudden interest in English.
Jessica: Well, maybe it’s the night classes that you are taking to brush up on your English. You know what they say: you would like a subject if you were good at it.
Fred: I don’t know why, but I’m secretly hoping to be the apple of our teacher’s eye.
Jessica: Well I know you would bend over backwards to excel at something you like. So I wouldn’t be surprised if you became the teacher’s pet.

Conversation 5:
John: Hey Lizzie! What’s up?
Lizzie: I hate to say it, but my boyfriend is seeing another girl behind my back.
John: I think you have a chip on your shoulder because you are always looking for a fight with him.
Lizzie: No seriously, John. Frank has been giving me the cold shoulder for the last two weeks. I’m holding my breath thinking that he would just get it off his chest, and tell me that he doesn’t love me anymore, so I can just break up with him.
John: Wow, hold your horses. Don’t bark up the wrong tree. First of all, you have no proof that he is cheating on you. Your imagination is working overtime. Maybe, Frank is just going through a rough time at home, and wants some space. You are making a mountain out of a molehill just because you are scared that he might make the same mistake he made last year. Trust me, he learned his lesson.
