RIP-4: meaning and examples
Hello again.
Today we finish our study of expressions with the English word RIP.
Today's expression is: to rip somebody / something apart / to shreds
Meaning: to destroy something; to criticize somebody very strongly.
Example 1:
The critics ripped Paul Auster's latest novel apart.
Example 2:
Did you read the article about the mayor's new plan? The author of the story rips it to shreds. I think he makes some good points.
