OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD

Good morning / afternoon / evening everyone, depending on when you are reading this. Welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope you had an excellent weekend (and a good Easter week). 

Today we look at another common English idiom that we originally looked at back in February of 2006.

Today's expression is: OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD

Meaning: when you use the knowledge that you have in your memory. It can also indicate that something is being said or done without much forethought, preparation, or prior planning.

Example 1: 
Pedro: This hummus is excellent. Can you give me the recipe?
Olga: Thank you. I don't have the recipe written down. I usually just prepare it off the top of my head.

Example 2: 
Erik: How much did our company make last year?
Jordan: I can't provide you with exact figures right now; I'm can only give you estimates off the top of my head.
