Today’s English
February 4th, 2017
The following expression that I would like to share with you now can be used when you see someone dressed well and looking smart. The expression “dressed to kill" is mostly used to admire a lady who has dressed fashionably to attract others.
1.Today is our college annual day and you can see all girls dressed to kill.
2.You are dressed to kill me today. (=you look extremely smart today)
Another phrase “look like a million dollars” also has the same meaning “you look so good and smart" and it can be used for both genders of any age.
1.Hi Preethi, you look like a million dollars today.
2.How is this dress for me? Vow! You really look like a million dollars.
Both on Facebook and Whatsapp, ladies dressed to kill get thousands of likes, don’t they? Shakespeare’s Cleopatra purposely dressed to kill Antony. You will agree with me when you read his own words:
“Age cannot wither her, nor custom stale
Her infinite variety:” –( Antony and Cleopatra)
