Idioms help tell good stories | Kim on being a grandma

Idioms are powerful💪 tools because they create imagery. For example, ’that car is a sweet ride’ gives you an immediate image of a car that is comfortable, a joy to drive, prestigious, to be desired, etc. So many concepts in two words. When telling 💬 a story, you want the listener to feel what you are feeling and idioms can invoke the emotions you want. Context is everything when using idioms. If you don’t have a good understanding of the meaning behind the idiom, it won’t make sense.
