A whole lot of animals

Want to be witty? Then, have fun with phrases.

The Saturday outing to the adventure park and the pizza shop was so much fun! The bungee jump is what my friends enjoyed the most, but I chickened out just as I was about to take off! And then I was horsing around the place, till it was time for us to pig out on pizzas.

Why does Harsha’s account of his Saturday trip have the chicken, horse and the pig?

To

chicken out, horse around and pig out — are phrases featuring some of our animal friends to convey a meaning.

Chickens, as you know are not the bravest of birds. And so,

to chicken out is to become afraid and back out at the last minute. And that’s what Harsha did too.

When you horse around , you fool around in a silly and boisterous manner. Little kids often horse around, and Harsha was just having fun when he did that.

And when you eat a lot, more than normal and healthy, then you are just

pigging out.

Bravo! Harsha just used the animal phrases so aptly. Why don’t you do that too?
