Common English Idiom: Speak of the devil
Meaning: "Speak of the devil" is used when someone you were just talking about suddenly appears.
Origin: This phrase comes from an old superstition that saying the devil's name would make him appear. Over time, it became a lighthearted way to comment on someone showing up just as you were talking about them.
Sample sentences:
We were talking about Sarah, and then she walked in. Speak of the devil!
Oh, speak of the devil! I was just telling my friend about you, and here you are!
