IDIOMS FOR BEING THANKFUL (THANK YOU VERY MUCH)

Good morning and Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Today is the fourth day of our Idioms for Being Thankful theme! Today we are looking at one that is a little silly: THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I'm sure you've heard this expression before, but we are looking at a different use today. Normally, THANK YOU VERY MUCH means exactly what it seems: that you express gratitude to someone. However, there is also a sarcastic use for this expression. 

Definition: A statement at the end of a sentence that is used for emphasis, usually when there is no reason for the speaker to say thank you. 

Example 1: I'll just clean the house myself then, thank you very much. 

Example 2: A lot of my friends had fun in college, but not me. I worked two jobs and paid for my own tuition, thank you very much. 

That's all for today. Thank you for reading!
