Meaning and Examples: Speak of the Devil
Speak of the devil. This is one of my favorite idioms. We use this when somebody who you are talking about just appears. Here’s the example from the video:
“Did you hear what he said when the boss walked in? “Can’t believe what he said.”
“Hey, what you guys talking about?”
“Speak of the devil.”
Here are more examples:
- “Matt played so well last week…” *Matt appears “… speak of the devil!”
Reading the comments under the Instagram video, it shows that there are similar idioms in other languages too, which is pretty cool!
