#Idioms Down in the dumps – unhappy. She’s been down in the dumps ever since she lost her job. Dawn on – become clear, begin to understand. It finally dawned on me that I missed our anniversary. Dead-end job – position with no future. He decided to go back to college because he realized he had a dead- end job. Cinch – easy. Adding and subtracting was always a cinch. Clamp down – become stricter. Because he came home from the party so late, his father said he will start to clamp down on his curfew. Bone to pick with someone - complaint, argument. I heard that you have rejected my proposal. I’m upset and have a bone to pick with you. @quizzesandvocab 33 views10:41
