 Re: antagonyms
Yes, those sayings are quite common idioms. For example, "to keep one's eyes peeled" means to be very observant -- "We're looking for Bill the Burglar of Brixton, so keep your eyes peeled and if you see him, arrest him on sight."
The <cite>National Enquirer</cite> is an American tabloid newspaper which sometimes carries stories that are quite simply untrue (and it has got into a lot of legal trouble because of this). Today it concentrates mostly on stories about celebrities, but in former times it carried stories about UFOs, the Loch Ness Monster and other strange things. |
