Slang of the Day

🔰redneck
🇺🇸American English Offensive

✔️Meaning: a lower-class white person from a rural background

📌For example:

🔺We were driving through Alabama when we saw some rednecks riding in the back of a pick-up truck drinking whiskey from a bottle.

🔺If it wasn't for the redneck vote, the Republicans wouldn't have won the election.

✨Origin: Originally referred to working-class white people from the southeastern states of the USA. These people often worked outside as farmers or labourers, and they'd often have red necks as a result of sunburn.

💥Variety: This slang term is typically used in American English but may be used in other varieties of English too.

Idiom of the Day

🔰at a loose end
🇬🇧British English

☑️Meaning: If you're at a loose end, you have nothing to do.

📍For example:

🔺If I'm ever at a loose end, I look for a good book to read.

🔺Give me a call if you're at a loose end and we'll go and do something.

💥Note: This is similar to the American idiom "at loose ends", though the American idiom seems to indicate a state of unhappy restlessness that results from having nothing to do, while the British idiom simply means having nothing to do.

✨Variety: This idiom is typically used in British English but may be used in other varieties of English too.
