Michael DiGiacomo Happy English
About this episode
Yesterday was Independence Day here in the USA, which is a holiday with lots of fireworks, and it got me thinking of some related idioms. Today, let’s have a look at six idioms that have a connection to summer festivals which you can use in daily conversation and even in the office.

This podcast English lesson has a dialog where you can hear these idioms in context: Fireworks, Skyrocket, Hotdogging, To go up in smoke, To grill someone, to rake someone over the coals
