PE 12/12 Relief on the Road


I’m so glad you offered to come along on this road trip for moral support, Kate.
* moral support: helping one emotionally with encouragement, love, etc.
ex> I accompanied my sister to her medical appointment for moral support.

You have nothing to worry about, Michelle. Once they hear you play, you’ll be in like Flynn.
* in like Flynn: quickly accepted or successful
ex> I told the other team members I had a van, and I was in like Flynn.

Thanks for saying that, but you can never really be certain about what they’re looking for. Sometimes it’s just the luck of the draw.
* luck of the draw: the result of chance; something one cannot control
ex> I was born with bad eyesight, but I guess that’s the luck of the draw.

Speaking of luck, that sign says there’s a rest area comping up. What a lifesaver!
* lifesaver: something or someone that saves one from difficulty or danger.
ex> Fiona was a lifesaver, showing up just when I really needed help.

No kidding! I could use a little break to freshen up. Should we get something to eat?
* freshen up: to clean oneself or change clothes in order to feel better
ex> She said she’d need about 30 minutes to freshen up before dinner.

That would be a godsend. I didn’t have much for breakfast today.
* godsend: something or someone that provides great and/or unexpected relief
ex> Finding that cash in the bottom of my purse was a godsend.
