#flyintheointment

[idiomland]

Hello everybody! 😀 Our idiom of the day is “Fly in the ointment“, which means “someone or something that spoils a good situation“.

Origin: the likely source is a phrase in the King James Bible: Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour. (Ecclesiastes 10:1)

For five centuries, 'a fly in the ointment' has meant a small defect that spoils something valuable or is a source of annoyance. The modern version thus suggests that something unpleasant may come or has come to light in a proposition or condition that is almost too pleasing; that there is something wrong hidden, unexpected somewhere.

Ready? Here’s our video example! Our idiom of the day is “Fly in the ointment“, which means “someone or something that spoils a good situation“. Usage in a movie ("Die Hard"):

- Who are you, then? - Just the fly in the ointment, Hans. The monkey in the wrench, the pain in the ass.

Thanks to our #FlyInTheOintment #MikeySutton we have another scoop for ya... DC Execs are thrilled with the success of #Joker . So thrilled at how successful the movie is and how it has no “shared universe / Continuity” that they’re wanting to move forward with that style. Granted #BirdsOfPrey #Aquaman and #WonderWoman are all still out there as a part of the #Snyderverse don’t expect them to crossover any time soon. As a matter of fact, Mikey also reports that they’re looking into a #LexLuthor movie with no #Superman in it. Matt Reeves’ #Batman trilogy will likely lead to a #Batfamily and nothing further of a #JusticeLeague . #TheNerdVillage ... i tell ya WB and DC Comics just don’t get it . While i can see the success part of the this being a push for these films... not every character is that interesting without their counter part. A major thing for comics IMO is the fact that they intertwine . The problem is that they don’t have any one their to lead the show and they just want to push who they want to push. For example, the #DCEU should have been lead by a Batman trilogy which then spun off into a justice league “find me” series of films THEN Justice League itself. Sigh ... looks like we will never get what we want ... but what do you think?? #DCComics #NYCC #NYCC19 https://www.instagram.com/p/B3TmQ3mD3nl/?igshid=1o7817e48h8pw

#RepostPlus @thenerdvillage - - - - - - ***RUMOR HUT... #MikeySutton our #FlyInTheOintment , has reported that #AntmanAndTheWasp are actually going to be headed to #DisneyPlus . He goes on to say that due to “heavy hitters” like the #XMen and the #FantasticFour coming that it would just make more sense to have Antman and crew head there. It’s not a downgrade in the sense that the Disney + #Marvel shows will have a big budget and also the Antman franchise is very big with families which is the core demographic for Disney + ! #TheNerdVillage what do y’all think about this movie for this #GIANTMAN ? #MCU https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hgVPcj7Yj/?igshid=mf4x2225dnh2

There is a #flyintheointment but really where the hell does a fly come from on November 30th! It's #36F degrees outside! I guess it's time to call it a day. #throwinginthetowel #callitaday #timetohittheshowers #stickaforkinmeimdone (at Espanola, New Mexico)

冷濕的天氣，喝碗黑糖薑片紅豆湯很舒服，黑糖薑片是我嬸嬸親手做的。可惜孩子怕薑的辣味，不愛喝這樣的紅豆湯。 紅豆湯加上有機紅茶拿鐵之後的黑糖薑片紅豆紅茶拿鐵也好好喝。 In such cold and rainy day, it's so comfortable to eat a bowl of ginger brown sugar red bean soup. The ginger brown sugar was hand made by my aunt The fly in the ointment is that kids don't like the soup because of the ginger flavor. By the way, the mix of this soup with organic tea latte is also very yummy. #紅豆湯 ，#黑糖紅豆湯 ，#雨天 ，#冷冷的天 ，#紅豆紅茶拿鐵 ，#黑糖紅豆奶茶 ，#蔬食，#素食， #redbeansoup ,#gingerbrownsugar ,#blacktealatte ,#redbeantealatte ,#redbeanmilktea ,#vegan,#vegetarian ,#flyintheointment ,#gingerflavor ,#gingerflavoredtea (at Tanshui, T'Ai-Wan, Taiwan)
