Idiom of the Day

“Steal someone’s thunder”

Have you ever had

some good news to share with others, only to have someone else ruin the surprise by sharing it themselves? This is a case of “stealing someone’s thunder.” Maybe you find out you are expecting to have a baby soon, and your mother tells everyone before you do. Another situation could be a coworker announces that she is pregnant when you were soon about to share that you were also pregnant. In both cases, this would be “stealing your thunder.”
