Hello,
I came across an idiom in the dictionary:
https://www.macmillandictionary.com/dictionary/british/a-blast-from-the-past
How common is "a blast from the past" ? Do people actually say it? Have I used it correctly in these sentences?
1. I used to play that video game when I was a kid. It was nostalgic to play again. Man! That was a blast from the past.
2. Seeing my elementary school classmate was a real blast from the past.
3. I ran into Jack who is movie star from the 90's. That was a blast from the past.
4. Seeing their wedding videotape was a blast from the past.
Basically, whenever I can say "that brought back good memories", I can say "a blast from the past". Is that a correct assumption?
