Hi everyone,
What have you been up to?
By now you must have realised that CPE is all about vocabulary. How about making the most of this space and exchange some words? I'm sure we'll have a blast, be in our element, get a kick out of it, take (a) delight in it, have a whale of a time, it will be a good laugh, self-indulgent, ...
... well, you got the point ;)
Happy postings,
Lesliê

PARVENU = a person from low social/economic position who has suddenly become rich/powerful (ex. Vera Loyola)
Let's keep the pot boiling!!!!!
Lesliê, thanks for joining us!
My pleasure.
BTW how do you say "PIÃO" (the toy) in English?
Cheers
Is it "top"?
Yeah! Thanks galore!!!
Let's brainstorm other expressions with the word TOP?
Each one of us lists 5 different expressions and later we create a small paragraph with the each other's expressions (there can't be the ones you listed, ok?)
Eager to see your list
Here goes my list:
1) tops = the highest possible (ex. it couldn't've cost more than $50 tops)
2) at the top of the tree = at the highest rank
3) from top to toe = completely
4) top sth off = successfully give a grand finale
5) pay top dollar = pay a lotta money
Lesliê, I'm impressed by your range of vocab. A+++
Fátima,
Keep up the good work!
1) go thin on top = lose sbd's hair
2) at the top of sbd's voice = as loudly as possible
3) off the top of my head = at a rough calculation
4) top dog = the most important person
5) out of the top drawer = of high social standing
Hey Fatima,
Angela is to blame for triggering this in me lololollolololol. Ask her to tell you my story and you`ll understand it better.
Cheers
to make it to the top = to be successful
over the top = too extreme
tank top = a sleeveless t-shit (our REGATA!)
to blow one's top = to get angry
only 4!!
Guys,
You've come up with so many expressions with 'top' that I have to sing you a Cole Porter song:
"You're the top!
You're the Colosseum.
You're the top!
You're the Louvre Museum."
Take a bow!
Hey everybody,
Well done! Now we`ve got a good number of ingredients to make a stew, right? How about topping off this event writing a paragraph using 3 to 5 expressions?
Here goes what we've got do far:
1) tops
2) at the top of the tree
3) from top to toe
4) top sth off
5) pay top dollar
6) go thin on top
7) at the top of sbd's voice
8) off the top of my head
9) top dog
10) out of the top drawer
11) to make it to the top
12) over the top
13) tank top
14) to blow one's top
Looking forward to reading from you
I blew my top at my sister the other day. She simply stained my favorite tank top with ketchup! The worst thing is I'd paid top dollar for it. It must have cost off the top of my head 80 pounds... To top if off, she started shouting at the top of her voice she hadn't even borrowed it in the first place! She's gone over the top this time.
lololol
PS: I was unsure about how to use OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD
