ANIMAL IDIOMS (NEST EGG)

Hello everyone and thank you for taking some time out of your day to read the Daily Vitamin.

This week we are studying Animal Idioms. Yesterday we looked at HOLD YOUR HORSES; today's expression is NEST EGG, which is related to animals since birds make nests (and lay eggs). A NEST is what birds build as a home for their EGGS.

Definition: money that has been saved for a special purpose. 

Example 1: I have a nest egg for my first home. 

Example 2: My parents have a nest egg saved for my children's college fees.

That's all for today. As always, thanks for reading!

Have an excellent day.
