It's the biggest thing in the night sky, so it's no surprise the moon appears in many English expressions. Here are a few examples.

If someone says they "love you to the moon and back," it means they love you very much, because their love is as large as the distance between the Earth and the moon – an average of 384,000 kilometers.

This expression is used in Guess How Much I Love You, a 2008 children's book by Sam McBratney. It's usually said to romantic partners or people in your family.

If someone is talking "moonshine" it means they're talking about something that isn't real or is foolish. But more often someone will offer you a drink of "moonshine," which is a word used in the US for illegal liquor.

If something doesn't happen very often, it can be said to only happen "once in a blue moon." A "blue moon" isn't really blue – it's either when a second full moon is seen in the same month, or the third full moon when four full moons are seen in the same season.

Both types of blue moon don't happen very often, only about once every 2.7 years.

Aggiornamento sulle ultime novità

Have you ever heard the phrase, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do"?

It means you should follow the customs of the place you're visiting or the people you're with. So in Japan, for example, you should take off your shoes before entering someone's home, because it's the custom.

However, people often shorten this phrase to just, "When in Rome."

Phrases like this, where part of the sentence is not spoken but the meaning is still clear, are called "anapodotons" ("an-uh-PAW-duh-tuns"). People don't say the second part of the phrase, but everyone knows what they mean.

But why do people leave phrases unfinished?

According to Instagram linguist Adam Aleksic, it's because we like to save time and effort when talking. By saying less, we can still share the full idea, as long as others know the rest of the phrase.

Anapodotons are very common in English. Let's look at some more now!

"Speak of the devil" is something people say when someone appears just as you were talking about them. The full phrase is, "Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." But it doesn't mean you think the person who appeared is a bad person!

"It takes a village" is another example. The full phrase, "It takes a village to raise a child," means raising children is easier with help from others. It can also be used to talk about teamwork or group tasks.

"If you can't stand the heat" comes from, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." This means if something is difficult or stressful, you should either deal with it or stop complaining and leave!

Anapodotons may be short, but they have a lot of meaning!

Saying Less, Meaning More: The Power of Anapodotons
