Hey everyone! 👋 Today’s expression is “laughing stock.” 👉 It means a person or thing that everyone makes fun of or laughs at. Not in a fun way — usually because of a mistake, embarrassment, or failure. Origin: This phrase dates back to the 16th century. “Stock” once meant a fixed object used for punishment or public display, where people could mock someone. Over time, “laughing stock” came to mean someone publicly ridiculed. Examples: • He became the laughing stock of the office after that email mistake. • The team was the laughing stock of the league last season. • She didn’t want to turn into the laughing stock of the class. Figurative daily-life examples: • I tripped on stage and instantly felt like the laughing stock. • That fashion trend turned the brand into a laughing stock online. • One bad joke can make you the laughing stock of the group.
