Task 8 Have a discussion in groups.  

Why does each word such as mushroom, pepper or a hot potato have such a meaning?

Answers: to mushroom: It means to rapidly increase in number because fungus usually appears and grows in size very quickly.

to pepper: It means to include large numbers of something because it brings to mind the image of a person putting black peppers on food.  It also implies that something has been scattered here and there like small bits of pepper, and is not concentrated all in one place.

a hot potato: A baked potato can be very hot and you need to be very careful when holding it.  When someone gives you a hot potato, you would want to throw it away in order not to get burnt.  So “a hot potato” can mean a very sensitive matter that is difficult or embarrassing to deal with.

a piece cake: In the 19th and early 20th centuries, African Americans started ‘cake walks. ‘ They walked or danced around a cake in pairs, and the best couple won the cake.  This is how the idioms ‘cake walk’ and ‘piece of cake’ came about -- both meaning that something is very easy to do.
