Welcome to this weekly English expression episode on the Aussie English podcast!
Today’s expression is “until the cows home”.
Can you tell what this expression is about? Yeah, can be hard to tell just by reading the phrase, right!
In today’s episode, I talk about the origin of this expression and give you example situations so you can use in your daily conversations.
I will also answer a question from Daniel who asks about using the verb “to pop” — like, the sound made when a small balloon ‘pops’.
And finally, join me our weekly pronunciation exercise so you’ll know how to pronounce the expression “until the cows come home”.
