THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND YOUR BODY

 It is strange that your body parts when use as a verb can help communicate better;

         You can HEAD a company but you’ll have to SHOULDER the blame or FACE the music.

         A good leader will BACK his employees but if you don’t TOE the line the management can SKIN you. 

        Did you MUSCLE your way into the room?

        You might EYE someone suspiciously and wait for the police to FINGER him.

         If you need to get out of town, you can THUMB a ride or ride with me if you can STOMACH the thought.

        Use strong ARM tactics if you want to ELBOW someone out.

         I don’t always sing along with the radio, but I sometimes do MOUTH the words.

       He was the BRAIN behind the show.
