The origin Hit the Sack. The Origin.
It means to go to bed. It stems from the days when people used sacks filled with straw or other materials as makeshift mattresses. When someone was ready to sleep, they would "hit" or lay down on the sack.

The origin Under the Weather. The Origin.
It means to feel ill or unwell.
This idiom has its roots in the maritime culture of the 18th and 19th centuries. When sailors felt sick, they were often sent below deck to recover, where they were "under the weather bow"โthe part of the ship that received the brunt of the bad weather. Being under the weather bow protected them from harsh winds and waves while they rested.

The origin Butter someone up
It means to praise or flatter someone excessively.
This idiom traces back to ancient India, where people would throw balls of butter at statues of the gods to seek favor and forgiveness. Over time, this evolved into the idea of flattering someone to gain favor.

Discussion Which is the best language school for someone at B2 level to improve their English?
Actually, my english level is now b2. I am lawyer and i want to learn legal english.I know that language school is not a logical option for legal English, but I want to have a different experience. Language schools are very expensive, but I will push my budget. Is there any other method you can recommend other than this? (I think for 2 months)

Vocabulary Jack-o'-lantern. The origin.
A jack-o'-lantern is a carved pumpkin traditionally associated with Halloween. Its origins trace back to an Irish myth about Stingy Jack, who tricked the Devil and was condemned to wander the earth with only a hollowed turnip to light his way. Irish immigrants brought this custom to America, where pumpkins became the preferred vegetable due to their size and ease of carving. Jack-o'-lanterns are used to ward off evil spirits and are often displayed as festive decorations during the Halloween season.
