What is "cheek"?

The cheek is the soft, rounded area of the face on either side, located between the eye and the jawline. It is formed by the underlying muscles and fatty tissue. The cheek plays a significant role in facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, or blushing. It also contributes to the overall contour and symmetry of the face. The cheek is sensitive to touch and can be a site for displaying emotions, such as when it reddens with embarrassment or becomes dimpled with a smile. It is a prominent feature that adds character and definition to the face.

What is the origin of the idiom "thank goodness" and when to use it?

The phrase "thank goodness" has its origins in expressions of gratitude and relief that have been part of human communication for centuries. It reflects a common human inclination to attribute positive outcomes or fortunate circumstances to a higher power or benevolent force. While the exact historical origin is not documented, it likely emerged from a combination of religious and cultural influences. It is commonly employed in everyday conversation when people want to express their appreciation for something positive that has happened.
