❗️The origin of the phrase ❗️
The phrase "show one's true colors" likely comes from naval warfare, where ships used flags (called colors) to show their allegiance.
Sometimes, a ship would use a false flag to trick the enemy, then reveal its real flag (true colors) before a fight.
Over time, this came to mean showing one’s real character or intentions.

Word of the day: rookie error
Today, I was reading a book and came across the phrase "rookie error".
Read the definition of the phrase and think of a time when you made a rookie error simply because you were inexperienced.
My example: When I started learning to drive, I made the rookie error of leaving the headlights on, and the car battery died (yes, that's true).
