🐎 Hold Your Horses — Daily English Idiom #16
Ep #16 teaches "hold your horses" — slow down and wait before acting — through three 4:5 flat-illustration cards: a panicked cartoon figure dangling from the reins of two galloping horses, a bold eggplant-purple definition card, and a café dialogue where the idiom naturally redirects someone about to jump ahead.
Imagine actually grabbing the reins of two galloping horses.
That's what this idiom looks like — and what it feels like to say it. 🐴🐴
Card 1 — Literal scene 🖼️
One panicked person. Two horses who have zero intention of stopping. Pure chaos — that's the literal reading.
Card 2 — Definition 📖
Hold your horses = slow down and wait. Don't rush or act before the moment is right.
Card 3 — Real-life use 💬
A: "Can we announce the project today? I'm so excited!"
B: "Hold your horses — the client hasn't approved it yet."
Heard this one before? Drop a 🐎 if you have.
