Idiom of the day
“Hit it off” It’s when two people meet and their personalities click so fast it feels like their brains are already on the same Wi-Fi network. No awkward small talk, no warming up period — you just vibe instantly and the conversation keeps itself going. Example: I was dreading the group project because I didn’t know anyone, but me and Alex met for coffee and we hit it off immediately. Two hours later we’d planned the whole thing and were making jokes like we’d known each other for years.

@Sam Haynes Yes — “skive off” is quite common in United Kingdom, especially in informal British English. It means: - to avoid work or school deliberately - to slack off - to skip classes or responsibilities Examples: - He skived off work on Friday. - Some students were skiving off lessons. You’ll also hear: - “to skive” on its own: They were skiving in town instead of going to school. It’s mainly British and Irish usage. In American English, people would more likely say: - skip class - ditch school - slack off - play hooky (especially for school) The tone is informal and slightly disapproving, but very natural in everyday UK speech.
