In this era where time is very valuable and the rate of reaction, particularly important expressions related to speed. Therefore, we analyze in detail the "headlong": meaning of the idiom and situation of its use.

Origins

headlong meaning of the idiom

We Begin, as expected, with the origin of the voice traffic. It is easy to understand that “fast” – it is very fast. Here it occurs as a portable and direct value. For example, "headlong” – can be a “thinking”, and at the same time, some researchers (N. M. Shan), noted that “fast” is similar in meaning such words as “rush”. That is to run, literally, with his head down.

The Exam

Generally speaking, running / runs someone somewhere at breakneck speed (the meaning of the idiom we discussed together with the origin, the time of examples), that is, very quickly, believing in yourself and not noticing the obstacles.

The question Arises of what and who where so fast to run? Of course, late for the exam student.

run headlong meaning of the idiom

For Example, young people (girls are usually more required) before the exam in full confidence that he is able to relax cultural, miscalculated the time and went in the morning. Although he had to stand up, say, 8:00, and he barely opened his eyes at 9:00, despite the fact that alarm clock for an hour I screamed and tried to Wake the host.

Negligent student in such a situation, of course, is not only to run headlong (meaning of the idiom we already know), but everything to do with limiting speed.

In any case, we hope he's in a rush will not put on the head of the pan, known as the hero of the poem.

“Tube”, train, idiom

Leave a wonderful student days alone and move on to more mundane example – being late for the train. Transport – generally a very tricky thing, especially when it is on schedule. Who did not come to time? And who's not worried before a long journey? Any person always gets ahead of important events. Not to worry only if your train is on Sunday morning. At this time, “tubes” on the roads.

And we imagine that tickets are not very lucky and there were only seats in the train in the middle of a weekday. Miserable person with bad feeling hailing a taxi, and somewhere in the city centre, the customer and the driver get into a jam.

fly headlong meaning of the idiom

If in reality, were the drivers both from the famous French movie "Taxi”, it wouldn't be a problem, but, unfortunately, ordinary people are driving so do not drive. And that time is running out. The man hurries the taxi driver, he begins to get nervous and at the first opportunity, that is, begins to fly at breakneck speed (the meaning of the idiom similar to “run”). Finally, the customer gets to the station, see the train and runs to him, losing bags on the way. But still manages.

Plan - head

Someone Who likes to plan everything, and some don't. However, it is recognized that the habit of everything to consider in advance of hurry can save. For example, if a student or client of a cab in advance worried about what awaits them tomorrow, they wouldn't have, being late, running at breakneck speed (the meaning of the idiom is revealed a little earlier).

And it would be so bad if people are in a hurry just where-that was late. But many misfortunes happen just because people can't allocate their time properly. Of course, immediately reminded of the accident.

The Man looks at his watch, realizes it is late, jumping in the car and tries to keep pace. The care crashes, the driver is nervous. In other words, haste does not promise anything good.

We analyzed the expression "headlong" of the meaning of the idiom, the meaning and examples of use. And the reader is left only one thing to say: I hope that he will not rush unless absolutely necessary.
