LIKE A BULL IN A CHINA SHOP

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Happy Friday and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin!

Today we look at one last expression with the word SHOP in it. 

This week's fifth (and final) shop phrase is: like a bull in a china shop

Meaning: if someone is like a bull in a china shop, they are very careless in the way that they move or behave and may break things or make mistakes or cause damage in situations that require careful thinking or behaviour.

Example 1: I told him that it was a delicate situation with the potential client, but he went into the meeting like a bull in a china shop. In the end, they did not become a new client. :-(  

Example 2: As a politician, she was like a bull in a china shop; she often had to apologize for her critical and berating speech.

Can you create your own original sentence with today's expression? You can post your sentence on one of our social media sites (Facebook or Twitter/X) and we will give you feedback as soon as we can.

I hope you have a great day and an excellent weekend. We'll be back next week with more lessons. 

All the best!
