27. CRACK OF DAWN
Very early in the morning. The very first moments of sunrise.
I wake up at the crack of dawn and go for a run every day.
28. HIT THE BIG TIME
This means to become successful.
After John hit the big time, he became very rich and forgot about all his old friends.

This simply means ‘very much’ or ‘a lot’.
You owe me big time because I helped you with your school project.
30. DAY IN THE SUN
When you have your day in the sun, it means you get the attention you want and are appreciated.
It felt like a day in the sun today. My manager actually noticed me and praised my work. I was
even able to put my feet up and have dinner cooked for me when I got home!
31. EVEN A BROKEN/STOPPED CLOCK IS RIGHT TWICE A DAY
This is used when people get lucky but don’t deserve it, or are undeservedly successful.
He definitely didn’t deserve to win the lottery, but even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
32. FEAST TODAY, FAMINE TOMORROW
If you indulge yourself with everything that you have today, and don’t save for a tougher time then you
may have to go without tomorrow.
He’s just bought himself a new Audi, and wears new suits every day. He doesn’t understand that
it’ll be feast today, famine tomorrow if he continues like this!
33. FIVE ‘O’CLOCK SHADOW
This is the term for the facial hair that a man gets if he doesn’t shave for a day or two.
You can’t go for your interview with a five ‘o’clock shadow! Go and have a shave!
34. FOR THE TIME BEING
This indicates an action or state will continue into the future, but is temporary.
You can stay in my house for the time being, but you need to save up some money and get your own
flat.
35. FULL OF THE JOYS OF SPRING
Used to describe someone who is very happy and full of energy.
I wonder why she is so full of the joys of spring, Darren must’ve proposed to her!
