Question

Wear your heart on your __________.

  1. Chest
  2. Shirt
  3. Sleeve

hintHint:

An idiom is an expression containing a group of words that has a figurative meaning and whose meaning is not deducible from those of the individual words. These expressions are peculiar to a language and the larger meaning can be understood only by native speakers.

The correct answer is: Sleeve


    To wear your heart on your sleeve means to openly and unabashedly express your emotions without keeping them hidden. It is believed that the origins of the idiom can be traced back to the medieval sport of jousting. As part of the customs, a knight would dedicate his performance to a specific lady. He would tie a personal item of that, like a handkerchief, around his arm. Going on to fight in the joust meant defending the lady’s honour and publicly proclaiming his love for her.
