EYE-OPENER: something that changes your perspective; something surprising. I read that book about species loss. It was a real eye-opener.
BORN WITH A SILVER SPOON IN YOUR MOUTH: having grown up wealthy. A tweet: <<It remains insane that this little rich kid, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, has a better sense of fiscal responsibility ... than just about any other elected official Illinois has ever had.>>
This chalk artist is from my city. If you have seen his work, please comment.

RED CENT (U.S.): a penny. You use this in negative sentences. Often "one red cent." I thought this product was going to make me rich, but I didn't earn one red cent from it.
THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAILS: Although the outcome seems clear, the complexities of the situation may make it uncertain. It seems as though you'll be getting a tax cut, but the devil is in the details.
GAG ORDER: an order from a court that a trial participant must remain silent about the proceedings. Electoral-Vote: <<Oh, the Judge also said: "When your client is violating a gag order, I expect more than one word," in response to one of Blanche's non-answers.>>
FOUL PLAY: a crime as an explanation for a death. Officials suspect foul play in the actor's death, although natural causes haven't been ruled out.
PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE: circulate socially. This is often used in connection with dating. It's been two years since your divorce. I think it's time to put yourself out there and try to meet someone.
ON STEROIDS: much bigger or more intense than usual. Business Insider: <<I spent 6 years living on The World, a cruise ship for millionaires. It was like the Four Seasons on steroids.>>
BANNER YEAR: an extremely successful year. You can use this for an organization, a person, or a product. Barron's: <<It was supposed to be a banner year for bonds. Instead it has been a bust so far.>>
CHERRY-PICK: make selections (from among items or data) that benefit you. Axios Detroit: <<The American Hospital Association has disputed the institute's methodology, claiming it cherry-picks types of community-based spending.>>
IN THE NICK OF TIME: just before something bad would happen. I thought it was going to rain at my wedding, but the skies cleared in the nick of time.
LATE TO THE PARTY: slow to appreciate something. I know I'm late to the party, but I listened to the new Taylor Swift album, and I really like it.
LATE TO THE PARTY: slow to appreciate something. I know I'm late to the party, but I listened to the new Taylor Swift album, and I really like it.
CATCH SOME ZZZs: sleep briefly. Spelled various ways. Daily Beast: <<It’s at least the third time Trump has been spotted catching some ZZZs during the first week of his high-stakes hush-money trial.>>
EASTER EGG: hidden message or feature, clue. This came from the world of video games but is now more widely used. 1440: <<Swift’s album was preceded by a string of Easter eggs—or clues—designed to hype up fans.>>
WITHIN REACH: possible to achieve. After winning four games in a row, team members feel that first place is within reach.
LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY: accept the consequences, no matter what they may be. When you face a difficult decision, do the right thing and let the chips fall where they may.
PUT SOMETHING ON THE MAP: gain wide notice for something. Jakarta Post headline: <<'Badarawuhi di Desa Penari' set to put Indonesian horror on global map>>
