ANIMAL IDIOMS (HOLD YOUR HORSES)

Good morning everyone. How are you doing today? I hope you are all doing well. 

This week we are going to look at some common Animal Idioms. We originally looked at expression with animals in January and June of 2007. If you search for "animal expressions" in the Daily Vitamin section on our website, you can find them.

Anyway, today we begin the week with the expression HOLD YOUR HORSES. 

Definition: Wait; slow down. 

Example 1: Hold your horses. We can't begin writing our presentation until we complete all of the research. 

Example 2: Why are you waiting by the door? Hold your horses, I'm not ready to go yet!

That's all for today. Tomorrow we will look at another animal-related expression: NEST EGG.

See you then!
