    "googling" is another idiom that could eventually go bye bye

    Don't make me get into a semantic argument ... google is an OED word, like xerox. An Idiom is a group of words.

    but, feel free to expand the Idiom thread to include words that might get the dreaded -- -- put in front of them by OED.

    That's actually very logical. 4 weeks isn't that long after a month plus some of Christmas ads

    Also Seasonal (winter) items are still in peak demand and they are generally restocking instead of trying to clear inventory. But if they had a bad Christmas, you do indeed see a lot of sales around now.

    Gringos would be nervous because they think it would be racist to go shopping during a day celebrating a real black person then when it’s a fat gringo with a beard who doesn’t exist

    "screw" in this instance might be considered a one-word idiom. just sayin' :cool:

    My bad , I been trying to help @fchowd0311 with his anger driven communication that is quick on the insult/obtuse/condescending style. I’m hoping to defeat hate with love and show him the way
