the first phrase that we have in the list today is - ADD INSULT TO INJURY Recently I

heard this phrases in a song and I thought, why not include it in the lesson today, it

the more worse. In that situation we can use - Add Insult To Injury. Let's see how we can

use it in an example - first, the bathroom flooded, and then to add insult to the injury

the tap started leaking. So, possibly (laughs) this is a funny situation, that can happen

with anybody. Sometimes.. Sometimes when it's leaking, on top of it other two taps leak

and your bathroom floods up. in that situation you can say - Add Insult To Injury - when

a situation which is already bad becomes all the more bad.

let us look at the next phrase that we have and that is - A HOT POTATO - It means a problem

or a situation that is difficult to deal with. A lot of time we have problems in daily life.
