EXPRESSIONS WITH NAME-4: meaning and examples
Good morning everyone.
Today we finish our series of Daily Vitamins about expressions that use the word NAME in them.
Today's expression is: SOMEONE'S NAME IS MUD (informal, sometimes humorous)
Meaning: used to say that someone is not liked or popular because of something they have done.
Example 1:
Lance Armstrong used to be one of the most popular celebrities in the US, now his name is mud.
Example 2:
Since the crisis has begun, there have been a series of politicians whose names have become mud due to revelations about their corrupt activities.
Tomorrow is a bank holiday in Spain, so we will NOT present the Essential Weekly Vitamin for Spanish-speaking students of English. We'll be back on Monday.
Have a great day and an excellent long weekend!
