We’re on a roll! (Everyday idioms in newspapers) by Kate Woodford We like to keep you supplied with frequent, up-to-date idioms on this blog. One way in which we do this is by reading, every few months, a range of national newspapers that were published on the same day. This week’s phrases come from tabloid newspapers. Elsewhere in the same paper, it is reported that a TV celebrity has ‘set her sights on’ becoming an online lifestyle guru. The same paper notes that a serious crime was not widely reported in the media while other, less important events received a great deal of attention. The business pages, meanwhile, report on a businessman who is ‘on a roll’, forming a new company and becoming involved in various other projects. Another tabloid rudely comments that a celebrity chef has been piling on the pounds, meaning ‘putting on weight’. Finally, a photograph of a famous boxer, it is reported, will soon ‘go under the hammer’. Like this: Like Loading... Related Staying the course (Everyday idioms in newspapers) In "Idioms"

Why Is No One Interested in Vagina Size? -- Science of Us It’s no secret: We are obsessed with penis and testicle size. Lately, we’re especially fond of evolutionary explanations for why penises and testicles are as large as they are, and why they’re shaped the way they’re shaped. It’s an obsession that extends from the ivory towers of academia on down. You’ve probably seen the articles by now. They follow a similar pattern in which penis size — often girth, rather than length — is an arms race in which the biggest or most innovatively shaped penis wins the evolutionary prize of passing on its owner’s genes to the next generation. Another explanation is male competition. All this is, admittedly, terribly fun to write about, and I’m not even going nuts (gah) like journalists and researchers do in their endless, gleeful coverage of the subject. If we were going to answer it the same way we’ve long explained the human penis, and other animal-penis shapes, then it’s clear what approach we’d take.
