So, dear friends!
Did you overeat (comeu demais) on the weekend? Did you have a free grub (boca livre) at your aunt's house? Maybe a wedding shower (chá de cozinha) , or a child's birthday party? So, today you're probably worried about the extra calories. Well, nothing better than eating fruit today, to detox (desintoxicar). Let's learn some expressions which have fruit names in them:
When you have a big problem, you say: "É um abacaxi", in English you say: "It's a lemon".
The person that someone loves most of all and is very proud of, is your "menina dos olhos", in English this person is "the apple of your eyes".
When someone gets very angry or excited he/she "goes bananas", or "fica doido". Ex: Everybody went bananas for the new Ipad.
Also, if you make a mistake, you can say that you "slipped on a banana skin", or "deu uma mancada".
If a business became unsuccessful, you say "it went pear-shaped", in Portuguese "o negócio afundou".
Now, prepare a nice fruit salad and start exercising, ok?
take care!
Carmen
