#EngGame: Complete the idioms

Hello fellas! Let’s start the month with something fun. Do you like idioms? Fancy some #EngGame? Why not combine the two in today’s session? As you know, we’ve shared quite a lot of idioms in our #IOTW sessions. Today, I want you to fill the blanks & complete the idiom. For example:

Mom: Where’s Yudi?
Dad: He’s a _ _ _ _ _ potato. Where else could he possibly be?

Can you fill in the blank? Yes! The answer is: “COUCH”.

Mom: Where’s Yudi?
Dad: He’s a [COUCH] potato. Where else could he possibly be?

Now that you get the hang of it. Let’s start!
