How are you going to reduce crime?
The politician might start talking about how they're going to pay teachers more.
But that has nothing to do with the actual issue or the question being asked.
So that is what a red herring is.
You would call what they're talking about to distract from the main issue as a red herring.
It's a really, really great phrase to use.
And make sure when you use this phrase, a red herring, you're talking about someone who's just trying to mislead, you know, off the main topic rather than just...
saying something that's irrelevant.
Like they're trying to talk about this in order to distract from the main issue.
They're misleading someone.
An interesting idiom that we use in English a lot is to give something life.
I'm gonna give him a life.
You might have a phrase like this in your own native language as well.
It just means to get something to be exciting, energetic, or interesting.
So for instance, recently a new ice cream shop opened in my town and it was kind of exciting for the community.
I live in a smaller town and they had a DJ come to the ice cream shop for the first day that they're open.
So they were just trying to give it a lot of life, give it a lot of energy here when we use this phrase.
so when we're talking about this phrase we're just talking about you know being more creative giving something more energy more liveliness making it interesting we're giving it life sometimes we use the phrase i'm going to own it actually he owns it we are not talking about physically owning something or property we're talking about accepting responsibility for a job or a mistake this
phrase is most commonly used with I'm going to own my mistake here.
Just means I'm going to accept the responsibility.
