Welcome to the world when it\u2019s closest to the other side. A night when shadows seem to suddenly take on the form of something else. When you\u2019re not sure if you just heard a knock on the wall or&#8230; are you? When you find yourself glancing over your shoulder as you walk down a dark street only to have a group of children in festive gear scream past you on their way to another trick or treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the spirit of Hallowe\u2019en, we have created a list of the most ghoulish English language idioms. Get to know them and enjoy adding a sprinkle of spookiness to your conversations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Put a spell on you<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">A fun, witchy way to describe someone being fascinated by something or being influenced by someone. It comes from somebody casting a spell on you and being powerless to its effects. An influence so strong, it has magical power.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Spill your guts<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is often said to someone who is holding a secret or keeping information from another person or persons. When trying to find out what it is, they may be told&nbsp;\u201cyou&nbsp;know what happened. Spill your guts!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Digging your own grave<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">We must admit, the visual of this is pretty creepy&nbsp;but its meaning is perfect. When someone knowingly does something that will get them in trouble, or starts to do something dangerous, you can tell them, \u201cyou are digging your own grave\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Play the Devil\u2019s advocate<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is a very visual way to describe someone who will always argue against an idea or suggestion. Usually for the sole purpose of listening to the other people validate their suggestion. An example of this idiom in a sentence would be, \u201cWe can\u2019t make a decision because Jess is playing Devil\u2019s advocate\u201d.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>5. Like a bat out of hell<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThey were driving like a bat out of hell!\u201d This idiom explains itself really. If you were in hell wouldn\u2019t you want to get out of there as fast as possible?!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6. Going on a witch hunt<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This idiom has deep roots in the dark history of the witch trials in the 17th&nbsp;century. Today, we reference it when we want to refer to someone who is blaming another person or group based purely on their own opinion but has nothing to do with the facts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>7. Working the graveyard shift<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">When you work the graveyard shift, you work between midnight and 8am. So, it\u2019s just you and all things nocturnal&#8230; owls, zombies, witches and ghosts. Or maybe that was just Steve coming in the door because he\u2019s also working the graveyard shift.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>8. A snowball\u2019s chance in hell<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Back to hell for idiom no.8. Picture it: a snowball in the fiery depths of hell. It won\u2019t survive in that heat, right? So, use this whenever a situation is hopeless.&nbsp;<br>Samanta: \u201cI completely forgot about the <a href=\"https:\/\/ecenglish.com\/en\/english-courses\/education-exams-preparation\/\">English exam<\/a> today! I didn\u2019t study!\u201d<br>Marco: \u201cUh-oh, you don\u2019t have a snowball\u2019s chance in hell of passing it now.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>9. It makes my blood boil<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Have you ever been so angry or irritated that you felt you might explode? Then this is the phrase for you. The next time something annoys you, which hopefully won\u2019t be anytime soon, just remember these words. \u201cIt makes my blood boil!\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>10. I am dead on my feet<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You know that feeling when you\u2019re so tired that you can\u2019t even think? The thought of trying to stand up or work or speak is impossible. Walking is not going to happen either. The tiredness is killing you. You know what that means? You\u2019re dead on your feet, my friend!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-2b44b4c0f5eb854bb68bf11b3ec0b967\">Have fun with these at any time of year, and wherever you are <a href=\"https:\/\/ecenglish.com\/en\/schools\/\">studying English<\/a>. Idioms are a fun and playful way to practise English conversation more naturally. With time, you\u2019ll start using them in conversation without even meaning to and that&#8217;s when you know you\u2019re really mastering the English language. So, go out, have fun and stay spooky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-76ce5f96 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex has-background\" style=\"border-radius:2rem;min-height:240px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-right:2rem;padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--l);padding-left:2rem;background-image:url(&apos;https:\/\/ecenglish.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2025\/06\/DSC09460EC-Live_Fiona-copy.jpg&apos;);background-position:30% 30%;background-size:cover;\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-ec-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-b65aa1bd3eb66785c0b1a8d5919c9202\" style=\"margin-right:0;margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--s);font-size:2rem;font-style:normal;font-weight:500\">Try a free online lesson with EC Live<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-ec-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-5081f987feb7085cdbac893ff4496027\" style=\"font-size:1.13rem\">Live online English classes for continuous learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"margin-top:2rem\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button has-primary-dark-background-hover-color\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-primary-background-color has-background has-extra-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/ecenglish.com\/en\/english-courses\/learn-english-online\/?utm_campaign=17471923-blog-ec-live-cta&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog%20CTA&amp;utm_content=blog-ec-live-cta#free-trial-ec-live\" style=\"border-radius:200px\"><strong>try it for free<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Hallowe\u2019en!!
