What’s up y’all?! I’m back with another idiom and this time (if you hadn’t guessed yet) I made a collage about the idiom “best of both worlds”. This idiom has relatively murky origins and is dated back to around the 1800s. It likely evolved from a phrase from Voltaire’s Candide, “the best of all possible worlds”, which was published in 1759. The phrase is used to describe a situation where you get the benefits of two, separate things and none of the downsides.
For this one, I decided to make a Venn diagram of two worlds to show the overlap of the two worlds, literally. I chose to use Earth and Saturn because, well, they look cool and they’re two very different worlds. In the center is an image of Telluride, Colorado which is a beautiful, picturesque place. Also not too hidden in the image are two little friends! They don’t have names yet so if anyone wants to name them let me know down below.
