A: The past holiday was a wet weekend. B: What happened? A: I had planned a tour to Beijing but had to cancel it because there were several new COVID-19 cases reported. Note: “A wet weekend” doesn’t always have anything to do with the weather or a weekend. It’s a British idiom that means a boring and disappointing time. You can also use the expression to describe boring people. For example: He is such a wet weekend. I have nothing to talk with him. “Has a face like a wet weekend” is also a British idiom people use to describe a person who looks gloomy or miserable. For example: He’s got a face like a wet weekend because his girlfriend has dumped him. |
