Hey Kaz, there is a storm raging outside - let's shut that door.
Ah that's better. Now I can ask you about your party last weekend. How did it go?
It went down a storm Li.
Your party 'went down a storm.' You mean you cancelled it because of the weather? Because of high winds and rain? Or snow?
No, no, no Li.
If something 'goes down a storm' it means it's massively successful and enjoyable - so my party went really well - it went down a storm.
People loved it?
Exactly. People loved my party so I can say 'It went down a storm.'
Your party went down a storm - it was incredible.
That's right.
Well, Kaz, I gave a presentation yesterday.
Oh OK. How did it go?
It went really well, everyone loved it, it went down a storm.
That's great Li.
Yes, I'm delighted and I like today's expression.
