Home and Hearth : Holy Smoke! : This is a way of expressing surprise. Home and Hearth : HOME AND HEARTH is an idiom evoking warmth and security. Home is Where You Lay Your Hat. : Where you are comfortable and at ease with yourself is your home regardless where you were born or brought up. Home Stretch : The home stretch is the last part of something, like a journey race or project. Home Sweet Home : This is said when one is pleased to be back at one’s own home. Home James : This is a clichéd way of telling the driver of a vehicle to start driving. It is supposed to be an order to a chauffeur. The complete idiomatic expression is “home, James, and don’t spare the horses.’ Honest Truth : If someone claims that something is the honest truth, they wish to sound extra-sincere about something. Honour among Thieves : If someone says there is honour among thieves, this means that even corrupt or bad people sometimes have a sense of honour or integrity or justice even if it is skewed. Honours are Even : If honours are even, then a competition has ended with neither side emerging as a winner. Hook, Line and Sinker : If somebody accepts or believes something hook, line and sinker, they accept it completely. Hop, Skip and A Jump : If a place is a hop, skip and a jump from somewhere, it is only a shout distance away. Hope against Hope : If you hope against hope, you hope for something even though there is little or no change of your wish being fulfilled. Home and Hearth to HOME PAGE |
