Common Idioms the Kids Don’t Understand

UntitledImageSome of these are so second-nature I never stopped to think about them:

  • “hanging up” the phone
  • “stay tuned”
  • going through the “wringer”
  • on the “flip side”
  • “turning” a device on or off
  • a phone or alarm clock “ringing”
  • “CC”ing someone on an email
  • “film footage” and “that’s a wrap”
  • “Cha Ching”
  • “rolling up” car windows
  • “taping” something to watch later
  • the icon for “saving” a file
