EXPRESSIONS WITH CLOTHING: SCARF DOWN

Happy Wednesday, everyone! I hope your week is going well.

Our Expressions-with-Clothing week continues. Today we are learning the phrasal verb TO SCARF (SOMETHING) DOWN.

A SCARF is typically a piece of cloth worn around the neck or head. But it is also a verb used in the phrasal verb TO SCARF (SOMETHING) DOWN.

Definition: To eat something very quickly. 

Example 1: We scarfed down our meal and then went back to work. 

Example 2: Wow, you scarfed your dessert down. I guess you liked it!

As you can see from the examples, this transitive phrasal verb is optionally separable. 

That's all for today. Thank you for reading!
