buzzer, clang a bell, Sneezehiccupwhistleshout, Laugh
until your lungs wear out, Toot a whistle, kick a can, Bang a
spoon against a pan, Sing, yodel, bellow, hum, Blow a horn,
beat a drum, Rattle a window, slam a door, Scrape a rake
across the floor, Use a drill, drive a nail, Turn the hose on the
garbage pail, Shout Yahoo-Hurrah-Hurray, Turn up the music
all the way, Try and bounce your bowling ball, Ride a
skateboard up the wall, Chomp your food with a smack and a
slurp, Chew-Chomphiccupburp. One day a year do all of
these, The rest of the days be quiet please.

What is expression?
How is it related to
Idiomatic Expression?
The English Language uses phrases that have a
different meaning than the meaning of the
individual words in them. These are called
idiomatic expressions. You can get the meaning
of these expressions by reading words in the
same sentence. This is called context clues.
Read the sentences with the idiomatic
expressions in italics and give the meaning of
each.
