New Idiomatic Word Digest For Today by TeamLeader112: 11:13am On Oct 16, 2017
NEW IDIOMATIC WORD DIGEST

Today's word is "Esprit de corps" and it means "Team spirit, shared enthusiasm or morale"

For instance:
"The members of the organization are bounded by strong esprit de corps."

N.B: corps is pronounced as "core" and not "cups", the "ps" is silent in fable.

Therefore, it is pronounced as esprit de cor, exempt the "ps"

Thanks for deciphering.
Check back tomorrow for another idiomatic word digest.

Today's word is "Tour de force" and it means "
A feat demonstrating brilliance or mastery in a field."

For instance: "A.M Joseph debut novel 'after the storm' is a tour de force."

Synonyms: Masterpiece, masterwork

N.B: Tour is pronounced as "tore" and not "tower, the "u" is silent in fable. Therefore, it is pronounced as tor de force, exempt the "u" sound.
