Today’s Run: \u00a05.20 miles<\/p>\n
Today’s blog is dedicated to chicken idioms~all those sayings you have learned and maybe use in your everyday conversation without realizing it. \u00a0I never paid that much attention to these little sayings until I started keeping chickens myself.<\/p>\n
I received hens as a Christmas gift this past year. \u00a0During these last well almost seven months, I have learned that these colloquialisms have earned their place in our culture. \u00a0They are true sayings. \u00a0They fit the bill, so to speak. \u00a0So, without further ado, here are a few expressions that have wiggled their way into our everyday turn of a phrase. \u00a0See if you can think of a few of your own!<\/p>\n
~Don’t chicken out on me.<\/p>\n
~The chickens come home to roost.<\/p>\n
~Hen pecked<\/p>\n
~Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.<\/p>\n
~She rules the roost.<\/p>\n
~Pecking order<\/p>\n
~Madder than a wet hen.<\/p>\n
~No spring chicken.<\/p>\n
~Chicken hearted.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
<\/p>\n
Those are a few that come to mind. \u00a0I would be interested in seeing any more that you may have!<\/p>\n
