[GAME] Common English sayings

[Liv]

Hi everyone,

I don’t know about you, but I’m still over the moon about having emojis in the Community, so I have come up with a game still in celebration of the new feature.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I have translated 32 common English language sayings into emojis below. Can you guess which ones they are?

Be warned that there are some very British ones suggested by the amazing @Stephanie 😎

Also, please remember: many hands make light work, therefore let’s make sure everyone gets a chance to play. 

Break a leg! ✨

[Liv]

Hi @Clara116,

I'm glad you've been having fun with! 👻

Those were great guesses, but I'm afraid they were not right 🙈

@Sharon1014 @Helen350 @Laura2484 @J-Renato0 @Katrina79 @Branka-and-Silvia0 @Jessica-and-Henry0 @Ann72 @Helen427 @Cathie19 @Sandra2044 @Michelle2315 @Clara116 @Cathy463 

Hey guys, I've brought you some hints to help with the tricky ones that are left.

Please don't be mad at me about 28. When thinking of a hint for that one, I realised that the emojis I chose can be quite deceiving 😂 sorry.

🕺✨ Have fun:

22. Think of your kitchen utensils!

28. She's filled with something other than a baby. Also, think of other canned foods.

31. This one is about surprising / impressing / exciting someone.

32. This is a British expression for when someone is annoyed at something and being rude because of it. The second emoji is the main one!

[Yannis37]

@Liv 31 - Knock my socks off ?

[Yannis37]

@Liv  32 - Hot under the collar?

[Liv]

@Yannis37 

Yes!! 31 is "knock your socks off" 🏆

[Jessica-and-Henry0]

@Liv 

Making wild guesses based on your hints~~~

22. Pot calling the kettle black 

28. Full of beans 

31. Sock away

32. Don't lose your shirt

[Liv]

@Jessica-and-Henry0 

Your wild guesses are always pretty good!

Both 22 and 28 are correct! 🌟🕺

[Liv]

@Stephanie 32 is the only one left, would you like to do the honours? 😂

[Stephanie]

@Liv 

Only if you don't get shirty with me!

I have some bonus ones for anyone that's feelin' lucky!

33. 🐕⬆️🚫🏝

34. 🗣😈

35. 🖌y 4️⃣💭

@Stephanie @Liv 

34. Talk of the devil~

[Helen427]

haha that's priceless 

@Stephanie @Liv @Jessica-and-Henry0 @Laura_C @Yannis37 

34. Speaking of the Devil

is the way we say this phrase in NZ @Jessica-and-Henry0 

I wonder how many of us thought what the answer to 32 is but were reluctant to write the s word we may be thinking it was 🤔??
