Description:

This is an INTERNATIONAL swap for ATC's based on idioms!

Idioms are sentences or sayings that mean something different than the actual dictionary definition of each individual word.

For example: "Keep your cool" this means to stay calm in a bad situation.

"Pulling out all the stops" this means to do anything you can to achieve whatever it is you desire.

For this swap we will make to ATC's for 1 partner. Your ATCs will be based on 2 different idioms of your choosing. Create the ATC to depict the DEFINED meaning of the INDIVIDUAL WORDS of the idiom (example - if your first ATC is "keep your cool"...maybe you could do an ATC showing someone sweating profusely, with a fan blowing on them, drinking ice-water, getting buried in snow, etc....). You don't have to put the actual words of the idiom on the front if you don't want to but make sure it is at least on the back so your partner knows what you were trying to portray.

Here are two places to find lots and lots of examples of idioms:

Newbies are welcome to join. Please, no one with less than 4.7 swap rating. No no-sends.

I haven't seen a swap like this before but, if there has been one, please let me know if there has been so I can give credit where credit is due.

Also, if you have any suggestions for me, I'd be glad to hear them. Thanks!!
