As that lovable time when we have exams is approaching fast, I thought the new word for this week should have some kind of association with it. Actually, it’s more an idiom than a single word. Think about how you feel before an exam, then you’ll be ready for the WORD OF THE WEEK.
GET THE JITTERS
Definition: the jitters
- noun: a feeling of extreme nervousness
- slight, irregular movement, variation, or unsteadiness in an electrical signal or electronic device
- as a verb: to act nervously
Pronunciation:
/ ˈdʒɪtərz /

Europhiles get the jitters as anti-EU talk gains momentum.

In image:
So, try not to get the jitters these days and good luck with the oncoming exams.
Be calm. Be cool.
