English Idioms: The Apple Of Your Eye & Go For Broke

Unless

The Apple Of Your Eye ( the one you love the most ... )



The apple of your eye is that person (or thing) that you care for the most. Example: "He sure does love his little girl." Reply: "She's the apple of his eye." Example: "You got me the bracelet I wanted!" Reply: "Yes, I knew it was the apple of your eye."

The original meaning of the apple of your eye is the pupil, or the round black spot in the middle of the eye. It is as if that person's reflection can be seen in the pupil ("apple") of your eye. Example: "Everyone knew they would get married someday. She was always the apple of his eye."

It makes you feel good to look at the person who is the apple of your eye. From a famous love song: "You are the apple of my eye. That's why I'll always be with you."

You're my Honeybunch, Sugarplum
Pumpy-umpy-umpkin, You're my Sweetie Pie
You're my Cuppycake, Gumdrop
Snoogums-Boogums, You're
the Apple of my Eye

And I love you so and I want you to know
That I'll always be right here
And I love to sing sweet songs to you
Because you are so dear!

Go For Broke ( risking it all for the chance to win big ... )



To "go for broke" is to risk everything on one chance to win big. Example: "Are you sure you want to bet all of your money on that one horse?" Reply: "Yes. I'm going for broke!" To be "broke" is to have no money; you "go for broke" when you risk losing everything for one chance to win big. Example: "Do you think that girl will dance with me if I ask her to?" Reply: "Sure: go for broke!" "Go for broke" means take a risk, try your best, and give all of your energy to something. Example: "The way to be successful is to decide exactly what you want, then go for broke."
