Welcome back, everyone! I hope you are enjoying the second day of April. 

We are continuing our Fool Expressions with the idiom TO PITY THE FOOL. 

Definition: An expression used when one feels sorry for someone else. 

Example 1: I pity the fool who has to clean up after this party.

Example 2: This history book is so boring. I pity the fool who has to read it for class. 

There is a very famous example of this expression in the movie Rocky III; the actor Mr. T. uses this expression when talking about Rocky Balboa. You can watch the clip at the following link:

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope that you've enjoyed our week of lessons about Driving Vocabulary.

We are completing this theme with the slang word U-EY.

Definition: U-ey is slang for the word "U-turn." A U-turn is when a vehicle makes a 180-degree turn, in a U-shaped course, to face in the opposite direction.

Example 1: Oops, I missed our turn. I'll have to make a u-ey. 

Example 2: Can you make a u-ey here? I don’t see any signs that say it's illegal. 

That's all for this week. Thank you for reading!

We will see you on Monday for another week and a fun new theme. See you then.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin!
