Phrase | to come face to face with |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "to come face to face with" means to encounter, meet, or see someone or something personally and directly, without simply hearing about another person's experience: "Do you know anyone who has come face to face with the President of the United States?" The phrase "a long face" describes a sad facial expression: "Mindy had a long face for weeks after her cat died." The phrase "to be written all over (someone's) face" means to be very obvious and easily understood from looking at one's facial expression: "When the doctor stepped into the waiting room, the failure of the surgery was written all over his face." Finally, the phrase "to keep a straight face" means to not laugh even when something is very funny: "How could anyone possibly keep a straight face while watching that video?" |
