**NATIVE english speakers only**
I will provide you a list of 30 idioms. I would like you to take that list and enter each of them plus all of the information below into an online form on a website that my company is developing. The website is designed to define and teach idioms. We are currently building the idiom database, and need the idioms defined and entered.
For each idiom you will need to:
- Provide alternative ways of phrasing it.
- Indicate other idioms that relate to it.
- Provide a brief, 1 sentence, description.
- Provide a more detailed explanation, including any background information on it's origin.
- Provide AT LEAST two examples.
- Rate it's popularily (scale 1-5) - How common is it to hear this idiom in everyday speech?
- Rate it's Formality (scale 1-5) - How appropriate is this idiom for use in formal speech?
I'm looking for people that are native english speakers. If you have a degree in English, or are studying English, or have writing experience please tell me so.
This is an introductory project - I may select several bidders and choose one or two to continue working with long term.
*****IMPORTANT**** With your bid, please also send me a PM with a sample idiom. Choose any idiom that you like and provide all the information above.
AN EXAMPLE:
"Kick The Bucket"
- Also Can Be Phrased: Kicked the bucket
- Related Idioms: Six feet under, Bite the dust
- Brief Definition: To die
- Further Explanation: To kick the bucket is an informal way of stating that somebody has died. It's origins come from a method of committing suicide where a person hangs himself by standing on a bucket, tightening a noose around their neck, and then ultimately kicking the bucket from under their feet. Despite the origins, the idiom does NOT mean that a person committed suicide, it simply means that they died.
- Examples:
+ Once I kick the bucket, you'll finally be able to drive my car.
+ Jessica, it would make your grandmother very happy if you have kids before she kicks the bucket.
+ John kicked the bucket a year ago, but we are still finding credit cards that he owes money on!
- Popularity: 4
- Formality: 2
