Part 4 Directions: read the meaning and origin of the following idiom. Use the idiom in two original sentences.
“Everything but the Kitchen Sink
‘When Erin went away to college, she took everything but the kitchen sink.’
Meaning: Practically everything there is; every possible object whether needed or not
Origin: This expression was born in the early 20th century and became popular after World War II (the late 1940s). The kitchen sink is heavy, connected to pipes, and usually polted down, so it’s not easily movable. But if you took everything but the kitchen sink, you’d be taking virtually all there was. Related sayings are ‘from soup to nuts’ and ‘from A to Z.’”(Terban 58).
