Six Apple Idioms🍎

The Big Apple is the nickname for New York City.
Nobody knows exactly why New York City is called the Big Apple, but there are some stories about it (comment, if you want me to tell you about it😉).

As American as apple pie
When something or someone is as
American as apple pie, they are something that is typically American.

Apple of your eye
Someone who is the apple of your eye is your most cherished person. An apple is very shiny, so when someone is very dear to you, your eyes shine. We usually use this idiom to talk about someone’s baby or child.

To polish the apple
Someone who polishes the apple is giving someone a compliment because they want something in return. In the old days, children would try to make the teacher
like them by bringing the teacher an apple.

To upset the apple cart
When someone or something upsets the apple cart, it means that something upsets a calm or balanced situation.

To be a bad apple
If you have a bag of apples, and there is one rotten apple in the
bag, it will cause the other apples to get rotten. So the bad apple has a negative influence on the other good
apples. A person who is a bad apple is the bad person in the group.
