Have you gotten a pumpkin spice latte yet? The season of Halloween and everything pumpkin spice is finally upon us as the first day of fall has arrived. Even our language starts to change with new idioms as the new season comes around. Below are a few fall idioms
you might have heard of!
Turn over a new leaf.
We’ve all wanted to start something new and afresh, a new beginning for us. This idiom refers to when you turn a page in a book, you go to a new blank page. Turning over a leaf is to start something new in a better way.
Turn into a pumpkin.
This one is very fairytale-like as it comes from the story of Cinderella. She was warned by her fairy godmother that when the clock struck midnight, the magic will disappear and the carriage will turn into a pumpkin. This idiom is used in the same sense, to refer to a curfew when it's around midnight.
The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree
This idiom is about how when an apple falls from a tree, they don’t go very far. It refers to our character and behavior and how they are similar to our families as we are closely tied to them, just like an apple with its tree.
