[Idiom] adrinalin rush

[maiabulela]

The host wants her program t be the best, and she's nervous because they have so many competitions. Her friend says "We'll find a way in. Get the same adrinalin rush"

I think tat "adrinaline rush" here is used to carry a certain meaning , not the literal meaning. Is it a famous idiom or expression?

Thanks

It's not clear what the context is, but it's an Adrenaline Rush - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .
Beating the competition, in any context, is likely to involve an adrenaline rush that is perfectly real. So it's not metaphorical, but it is a common idiom.

Thanks. So she simply means that thei programme will be great (as the audience will have an adrinaline rush) like he other programmes?

I'm confused because I think "adrinaline" has to do with fear!

Thanks.

Not only fear but also excitement.

 

[maiabulela]

Excitement!! yes! That makes it clear enough. Thanks you.

The appearance of your bus coming round the corner, when you're still 50m from the stop, triggers an adrenaline rush - which helps you run faster. Fear is part of the equation (the fear of missing the bus), but it doesn't have to be the main feature. When someone bungee-jumps from a great height, he/she knows there's nothing to fear, but it's still frightening; people do it because of the adrenaline rush.
