      I do have a video for the idiom 'call it a day' but there is no voice in the video. ua-cam.com/video/F27PtnGpcvM/v-deo.htmlsi=9pamP-Hx2-UhVHKr It does present a complete explanation. Keep in mind that 'Call it a Day' is the core idiom and can be used in different ways, for example I think its time to call it a day. I'm going to call it a day. What do you say we call it a day. And, of course, 'let's call it a day' is very common.

  • @rwobbly1378
    @rwobbly1378 Місяць тому

    Your explanation is correct, but I believe your derivation is in error. In 1891 there was a head-on train wreck that killed nearly a dozen people. During the subsequent investigation it was discovered that one of the trainmen's watches was off by 5 minutes. The railroad called in a prominent Cleveland, OH jeweler who had made quite a name for himself by using the latest technical innovations in horology. That man was Webb C. Ball. Ball set up a system that demanded every trainman to use a watch capable of accuracy in the (as I understand it) an astounding 3 seconds per week. Only watches and clocks that could meet that strict standard would be allowed on railroad property. The plan was a tremendous success. Other railroads took notice and decided to copy Ball's system. It was the difference between knowing the approximate time, and the exact time. As other railroads adopted Ball's list of acceptable watches and schedule of maintenance checkups, those trainmen were said to be "on the Ball". That is, being "on board" with the latest, greatest technical innovations. More information can be had at the Ball Watch Company history page.... www.ballwatch.com/global/en/company/history.html In horology circles, many collectors can supply you with images of Ball watches and clocks for your video. You might also contact the NAWCC Museum staff in Columbia, PA. Hope this helps.

      @EssentialEnglishIdioms Місяць тому

      That is one of the stories, yes. I was never able to find any specific examples of this phrase being used in a widespread way and referencing the railroad. Since making this video I've found the idiom predates the early 1900s and 1891 so I still think baseball is the most likely origin. All the examples of the phrase being used in a more specific sense are in regards to baseball. I doubt that the railroad watch is the correct origin and that is why I didn't include it.

    • @EssentialEnglishIdioms
      @EssentialEnglishIdioms Місяць тому

      Fantastic job! Corrections: 'cousin's family comes here' Also, you do not have to pluralize year in 6 year old when it is being used as an adjective in front of the person. So: "He is a 6 year old boy." "That boy is 6 years old." Also probably no need to use the past perfect in 'my pen drive had been delivered.' A native speaker would just say 'when my pen drive was delivered.'

      It can mean the same, yes but 'blow one's mind' is more general and describes anything that is shocking, amazing, etc. To blow/knock one's socks off is used to mean that something that will impress you or affect you greatly. The big difference is that 'blow/knock one's socks off' is used to describe how something WILL affect a person: "This movie will knock your socks off." "That movie blew my mind." We wouldn't normally say 'that movie knocked my socks off.' Many times, they could be used interchangeably, though!
