Now, let’s say you are a regular listener to the show and you want to learn t he meaning of the saying to be cut from the same cloth. So you write to us requesting more information. Then I write a show about that expression. You could say that program is tailor-made just for you. We will explain it like this: A tailor makes men’s clothing. When a tailor goes to work, he or she first takes measurements. The tailor then makes clothing for just that individual, not a group of people. We call that kind of clothing tailor-made. But now, let’s get back to our earlier expression?to be cut from the same cloth. aWhen making a business suit, a tailor cuts the coat from the same piece of cloth. This way, the color and quality of the material match. Let’s say Felix and Catherine design video games. The two young designers both want to design good games that help children. They also have the same sense of humor. So, you could say they are cut from the same cloth. They are also good friends. So if Catherine were in need, Felix would give her the shirt off his back. Now, we praise people who roll up their sleeves and who give you the shirt off their backs. We tip our hats to these people. |
