TODAY'S IDIOM: KILL TIME

"KILL TIME"



You kill time when you do something to amuse yourself while waiting for something. 

Example: We kill time on long trips by playing this game in which someone thinks of a country, and the next person has to think of another country that starts with the last letter of the first one, like Thailand, Denmark, Kenya, Afghanistan, Nepal, and so on.

Matar el tiempo.

Example sentences:

  • I had to kill time at the airport because of the delay so I bought a book of crossword puzzles / Tenía que matar el tiempo en el aeropuerto por el retraso, así que compré un libro de crucigramas.

  • If you're stuck in traffic jam, a good way to kill time is to read a book / Si estás atrapado en el embotellamiento del tráfico, una buena manera de matar el tiempo es leer un libro.

Additional examples:

  • I killed time reading a novel.

  • The employees were not encouraged to kill time.
