Bring the house down

作者:soosun    文章来源:本站原创    点击数:    更新时间:2009-10-7     


Reader Question: “But it was his outsized and riotous attack on cloud computing (‘The Cloud!’) that brought the house down.”

Could you explain “bring the house down”?

My comments: Also known as “bring down the house” , the term “bring the house down” is generally used when talking about a performance, whether it is a comedian doing an act in a small club, a singer belting out songs in a concert hall, or actors on stage in a theatre. It means to successfully entertain and make the audience laugh, clap loudly and be overall extremely pleased and gratified with a performance.

The word “house” in this sense represents a place of performance, like an arena, auditorium, or those mentioned above.

It can be used in the following way, for example:

“When Beyoncé performs in Beijing next week at the Wukesong Arena, she is sure to bring the house down.”
