Welcome to English in a Minute from home.
If you spend time away from home, you might write emails, text messages, or even letters to your loved ones.
But what does it mean if something is nothing to write home about?
Jonathan, have you tried the new pizza made with noodles, the Pizzoodle?
I have, and honestly, it's nothing to write home about.
Not worth the price or the two-hour wait in line.
What?
Nothing to write home about is a way of saying something isn't special or worthy of praise.
Language experts say the phrase was first used among military members living far away from home.
And that's English in a Minute.
