Hey everyone! 👋 Today’s expression is “dime a dozen.” 👉 It means very common, ordinary, or easy to find — something that isn’t special or valuable because there’s a lot of it. Origin: This phrase comes from the United States in the 19th century, when many small items (like eggs or candies) were literally sold for a dime per dozen. Over time, it became a figurative way to describe anything plentiful and not particularly special. 🥚🍬 Examples: • Those souvenirs are a dime a dozen — don’t spend too much on them. 🛍️ • Good ideas aren’t a dime a dozen, so value the creative ones! 💡 • Cheap sunglasses are a dime a dozen these days. 🕶️ Now it’s your turn! 💬 Drop your own sentence using “dime a dozen” below 👇 WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER! 🤝 English Expressions page on the Classroom 👉 https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/c7105c70?md=a0522a36e24d4286a880b2f958b8f1ea

Hey everyone! 👋 Today’s expression is “Johnny-come-lately.” 😄 👉 It’s used to describe someone who arrives late to something — a trend, a project, a situation — and usually acts like they’ve been there from the beginning. It can sound a bit teasing or slightly negative, depending on the tone. Origin: This phrase dates back to the 1800s in the United States, originally appearing in print around the 1830s. It was used to refer to newcomers who showed up after everyone else — often implying they’re inexperienced or trying to fit in with people who were there long before them. It combines Johnny (a generic name) with come-lately, meaning someone who arrives late. Examples: - He joined the project last week and already acts like a leader — a real Johnny-come-lately. 😅 - Don’t be a Johnny-come-lately — jump in early next time! - When the band got famous, a bunch of Johnny-come-lately fans appeared. 🎸 Now it’s your turn! 💬 Write your own sentence using “Johnny-come-lately” in the comments 👇 English Expressions page in the Classroom: https://www.skool.com/lme/classroom/c7105c70?md=a0522a36e24d4286a880b2f958b8f1ea WE LEARN FROM EACH OTHER! 🤝
