Going bananas simply means to go crazy. When people have gone bananas, it usually means they aren’t acting normal or in the right mind. This saying could perhaps best describe all the people we hear about on the news, fighting each other over toilet paper.
There’s a pandemic going on but the world is going bananas over toilet paper!
It seems that a lot of retail workers will probably have to say this to all the people that come rushing in their store for toilet paper. This idiom means, to be patient or to ask one to wait. The saying reminds people to slow down and think before they act abruptly.
So if we do find ourselves in the line at the grocery store having to get our pack of toilet pack we will remember to hold our horses and not fight over toilet paper.
You’ve probably heard of Queen’s song ‘Another one bites the dust’ and perhaps it’s even a song in your COVID-19 playlist, but do we actually know what this saying means?
The idiom ‘Bite the dust’ means to die or to come to an end or cease existing. Sadly that is the case for a lot of businesses especially restaurants in the current situation where there is a lack of customers due to the need for social distancing.
For a lot of us, being able to work from home, means more time. Whether things are different or not, we still have that one goal to get the glowing body. But we know that it’s most likely wishful thinking and it’s most likely not going to happen.
That is what pie in the sky means. It’s a dream, a plan, a promise or an idea that is most likely not going to happen.
‘It’s not over till the fat lady sings’ is perhaps a weird and uncommon idiom. This idiom simply means that an event is not over yet.
It is believed that the saying originated from the belief or practice that usually a large-sized lady will sing a long solo right before the finale and ending of an opera. This idiom perfectly describes the COVID-19 situation currently. So stay at home, stay safe and hopefully all this uncertainty will end soon!
