WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
Do you think you can work out these meanings?
*I´VE GOT THE GIFT OF THE GAB
*I WAS TICKLED PINK
*MY LIPS ARE SEALED
*I GOT HOT UNDER THE COLLAR
*IT SLIPPED MY MIND
Some peeple said that. Now you write:
number 1 next to the person who forgot something
number 2 next to the person who is good at talking
number 3 next to the person who was very amused at something
number 4 next to the person who has promised to keep a secret
number 5 next to the person who became angry and excited

    I'd have to say my answers are:
    * I've got the gift of the gab - 2
    * I was tickled pink - 3
    * My lips are sealed - 4
    * I got hot under the collar - 5
    * It slipped my mind - 1

    These expressions are quite nice to figure out the meaning. Some are easy to put into context, others imagining it also helps figuring out the meaning. For the remaining, well, just memorization I guess.

    Let's wait for July 2nd for the answers!!
