Today\u2019s phrase is a simple one, but it\u2019s nice and descriptive. I was watching a movie in which a family was planning a vacation to Disney World, and the parents described their kids as \u201c<strong>brimming with<\/strong> excitement.\u201d What does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>Brimming with excitement means extremely full of excitement. Let me give you a visual example. The top edge of a cup or glass is called the brim. Usually when we fill a cup with liquid, we leave some space; we don\u2019t fill it all the way up to the brim. So if you do fill the cup up to the brim, the cup would be considered extremely full.<\/p>\n<p>This is why the expression \u201cbrimming with\u201d means extremely full -we usually use it with an emotion or some other non-physical thing. Someone who generates a lot of good ideas could be described as \u201cbrimming with ideas,\u201d or someone who is very naturally skilled would be \u201cbrimming with talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I try to make sure my lessons are brimming with useful tips to help you understand English better! Thanks for joining me today, and I\u2019ll see you in tomorrow\u2019s video.<\/p>\n<div class=\"alert\">\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center\"><strong>Learn phrases and expressions to improve your spoken English!<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/everyday-english-speaking-course\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.espressoenglish.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/eesc-1-2.png\" alt=\"Everyday English Speaking Course\" width=\"486\" height=\"344\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"color: #ffffff\"><a class=\"elementor-button rounded large blue\" style=\"color: #ffffff\" href=\"https:\/\/espressoenglish.lpages.co\/everyday-english-speaking-course\/\"><strong>Learn more about the Speaking Courses<\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello!
