I’m a nerd, I have nerdy passions. I’m a lit-nerd, movie-nerd, language-nerd, a full-on nerd-nerd, in a nutshell. Of course, if you consider the huge quantity of amazingly nerdy topics, I think there’s tons of fun stuff just waiting to be learnt and done. So, I’ve been thinking I can satisfy my geeky side and share the fun at the same time. “Feed two birds with one scone”, as the new version of an old saying goes.

I’ve even been collecting idioms and curious expressions from my favorite films and TV series. A great excuse to watch them, isn’t it? Who knows, you might find them useful if you are learning /wish/need to speak English more fluently.

I mean, I write and talk (again, something I really love to do) about my passions. Words, books, cinema, music, theater, gardening, cooking, you name it. And if, as I hope, you are a nerd an intellectual badass too, and share all or some of these passions, we can exchange views and ideas. Awesome! (this is a quote: can you guess where from?).

Also. For lawyers, lawyer-linguists and all other friends with an interest for legal subjects, I’ve no intention to give up my legal English posts. Stay tuned then, because a whole bunch of regular features is on its way here!

In fact, the nerdy passions weekly feature starts tonight, with the idioms from the first episode, first season of Supernatural. This is a TV show I’ve recently discovered, thanks to my younger son, and become addicted to. Also great for terms used in police investigations and in courts. You can find the Wikipedia article on the show here, if you wish to get a few more juicy details – while waiting for mine.
