IDIOMS ABOUT BEING HAPPY
Are you happy today? What are some idioms that can describe your happiness?
If you are experiencing an extreme state of happiness, you can say that you are: "on top of the world, "on cloud nine," "over the moon," or even "in seventh heaven."
You can also use some of these animal-related idioms to describe your contentment by saying that you are "happy as a clam," "having a whale of a time," or "buzzing" (like a bee would).
What is the color associated with happiness? Well, that would be pink, in that if you are pleased with something, like a dinner offer, you say that you are "tickled pink."
