English in a minute
Subject: Up in the air
Welcome to English in a minute!
This expression sounds as if we are flying in the sky…
Up in the air
But does this actually mean we are floating above the gound?
Start the conversation:
A: So, you cousin is graduating from high school this year. Has she decided on a college?
B: She hasn’t decided on anything yet. All her college plans are up in the air. She doesn’t even know what she wants to study!
A: She had better get on it!
If something is up in the air, it is undecided and uncertain. If an object is floating through the air, it Is hard to know where it is going, which is where this expression come from.
In the past, people just said in the air, but in the mid-1900s, we added UP, making it up in the air
And that’s English in a minuteAnd that’s English in a minute
