Idiom of the day – Snow time like the present!
We can use the word snow to make a pun. The words ‘there is no…’ are replaced by the similar sounding word snow. There’s no time like the present means to get on and do something now, rather than waiting. If the context is snowy, we could use snow and make a pun as well as an idiom. It also works with other phrases, e.g. Snow joke! = it is no joke. Free English course >
