Idiom of the Day
“Flea market”

A flea market is a place where

people set up a booth, usually outside, to sell used items, discounted items, or handmade crafts. The origin of this idiom came from when very poor people sold anything they had of value out of desperation. The items were usually dirty and had fleas. Flea markets are now modern and well organized, usually taking place on weekends.

“I’m going to the flea market this weekend to see if I can find a cheap pair of shoes.”

    @Jackson I imagine this is pretty common worldwide, but that we may call it different names from different countries.

    @VARIETY CHANNEL قناة متنوعه I was once quite poor, so my sympathy goes out to them. I know it is hard to imagine a poor American, but truly, I have some shocking stories... There is a misconception that all Americans are wealthy. It is just not true at all...

    @YOLO for us in the US, a bazar would be more unique. They would likely only sell items from the Middle East.
