Oh oh, don't cry Li, don't cry. It's a compliment. If someone says, you know your onions, it means you're experienced in something or you know a lot about a particular subject. So, really it means you're clever.
Oh, really? But but why onions?
Hum, it is a strange term, and some people say it comes from a man called S.G. Onions, who made fake coins to help teach children about money. So if they learnt about money they would know their onions.
I see. But I suppose now we just use it as a silly expression.
Ha ha. We do. A bit like this.
If you ever need someone to fix your computer, ask Bob, he really knows his onions!
Look, you got full marks in the maths test – you really do know your onions.
That tour guide really knew her onions, didn't she?
So, knowing your onions means knowing a lot about something. Well, that describes me very well then.
Hum hum. Now another way of saying it is that you really know your stuff.
Stuff? You mean like this?
When it comes to making cakes, my mum really knows her stuff. |
