PHRASAL VERBS & IDIOMS
to eat away at something = gradually damage or perhaps destroy something over a period of time e.g.: the sea eats away at the coastline.

to eat away at someone = worry over a long period of time about something e.g.: the worry about her mother's illness ate away at her for a longtime.

to eat in = have a meal at home e.g.: I don't have much money today- maybe we should eat in.

to eat out = go to a restaurant of some kind for a meal e.g.: I don't feel like cooking tonight. Let's eat out at that new Italian place down the road.

"the empty nest" refers to parents whose children have finally grown up and left the family home. These parents are now in a position to have more time to themselves. The phrase comes from the literal image of young birds leaving the nest once they are capable of flying e.g.: Well honey, now that we have an empty nest, we can go on that cruise that we've always been wanting to take. Note: "the empty nest syndrome" refers to parents who find it difficult to adapt to their new found freedom and lonelier lives, as although they have more time to pursue other hobbies, they very much miss their offspring.

an empty stomach = usually do something without having eaten anything, so one's stomach is literally empty e.g.: It's better not to run a marathon on an empty stomach.

an educated guess is actually quite accurate because it is based on past experiences of similar situations. As such, it is something of an oxymoron i.e., two seemingly contradicting words e.g.: If you can't tell me the exact building costs, could you please give me your best educated guess.

''East St.Louis" by Boo Boo Davis podshow.com

Some of the lyrics below may not exactly match the song, but they are close nonetheless. The reason being is that this song is an old blues standard number, and as such each singer varies the words. This is another element of artistic license, since the artist does not necessarily have to copy the lyrics word for word of the original number. Enjoy ©
Well I walked all the way from East St Louis town
Well I walked all the way from East St Louis town
And I ain't got a dollar, I ain't got but one thin dime
And I ain't got a dollar, I ain't got but one thin dime
And if I get lucky, Ill be riding home in style
If I get lucky I'll be riding home in style
Or I might sleep tonight down by the riverside
Gonna lay my head down by the riverside
Let that big Mississippi sing my lullaby
Let that old river water sing my lullaby
