    The question is not really answered. "Rule of Thumb" is old world. It goes back to when the 'man of the house' had the only say as to what goes. He was allowed by law to hit his spouse and children with a switch - and the diameter could not be any larger than his thumb

    One confusing thing to understand is whether an article should be in an idiom. E.g., you may say "all hands on deck" but not "all hands on the deck". "Batten down the hatches", not "batten down hantches". "Play by ear", not "play by the ear". ""Out of the woods", not "out of woods". Touch base", not "touch the base". Is there any rule which dictates "the" or "no the" ? Thank you for all of your videos.

    • @English-via-Animation
      @English-via-Animation 2 месяца назад

      That's a great question! Unfortunately, there isn't a hard and fast rule about articles in idioms. It's often just about memorizing the correct phrasing. Sometimes, using "the" can slightly change the meaning. For example, "touch base" is a casual check-in, but "touch the base" might make people imagine a baseball game!

      You're spot on - "pig out" is a vivid, humorous idiom! While not the most polite phrase, its over-the-top imagery packs an amusing punch. Used jokingly, it's a fun, informal way to describe a big feast or eating spree.
