Idiom

used to convey the idea that time passes quickly or seems to move swiftly

What is the origin of the idiom "time flies" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "time flies" can be traced back to ancient Latin literature, specifically to the phrase "tempus fugit," meaning "time flees" or "time flies." This expression reflects the universal human experience of time passing swiftly and is found in various literary works throughout history. The concept of time flying has been a recurring theme in philosophical and poetic discourse, emphasizing the transient nature of moments and the swift passage of time. Over centuries, the sentiment has been carried forward and translated into different languages, becoming a widely used and recognized expression to convey the perception that time seems to move quickly, especially during enjoyable or memorable experiences

What is the origin of the idiom "about time" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "about time" can be traced back to the Middle English period, where the word "about" was used to mean "concerning" or "regarding." The use of "about" in this manner can be seen in expressions like "about that matter" or "about this issue." In this phrase, the emphasis is on the passage of time and the feeling of it being an appropriate or overdue moment for a particular event or action. It is commonly used in informal conversations, casual writing, and even in more formal settings.
