Sure, you know the tunes, but do you know the idioms hiding in those famous song titles?
#vocabulary

E.g.: The politician's success can be attributed to his ability to be a smooth operator in public settings.
🎵 House of Cards — a structure, situation, or institution that is insubstantial, shaky, or in constant danger of collapse.

🎵 Cry Me A River — said sarcastically to someone whose whining, complains, or tears fall on unsympathetic ears.
E.g.: Susan apologized for gossiping behind my back. She can cry me a river I have no times for fake friends.
🎵 Birds Of A Feather — people who are similar in character or share interests.
E.g.: When it comes to outdoor adventures, they’re birds of a feather.
