Idioms

Have you ever heard someone say that "people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones" maybe you've even said it yourself! This my young friends is what we call an idiom.  Idioms are sayings that have a hidden meaning...we'll be learning about idioms next week, but until then, I wanted to share with you an interesting list of "modern and updated idioms" from Wired magazine.  Recognize where any of these might have come from?
  • Hindsight is always 1080p.
  • One #hashtag does not a trending topic make.
  • Too many hosts spoil the podcast.
  • That’s a hard act to unfollow.
  • 140 characters to the wise is sufficient.
  • The bandwidth is always greener on the other side of the firewall.
  • E-mail, Twitter, and Facebook are three best friends and three worst enemies.
  • People who live in glass houses shouldn’t check their address on Google Street View.
  • A fool and his passwords are soon parted.
