Good morning Michael,
1. Michael had lunch at a bageｌ shop near his office.
2. Michael’s mom and sister eat like a bird.
Could you tell me where the bagel shop is?
Hi Ryo. The bagel shop is Zuckers. it’s on Lexington between 40th and 41st. The best bagels I’ve ever had!
Hi Michael
There are some similar idioms in my mother tongue” Persian ” as well.
We say “working like a donkey ” for a hard working and “eat like a cow” for eating much more than usual.
But these are impolite and abusive slang when we use them addressing someone. Do they have the same usage in English ?
