Proud as a Peacock
J: So, I heard Reggie raised the most money for the Save the Plankton contest.
A: Yeah, and you should have seen him. When he accepted the award, he was proud as a peacock.
J: Well, he did raise a lot of money for an important cause.
A: But it’s not about him, Jonathan. It’s about the plankton!
“Proud as a peacock” describes someone who thinks highly of themselves. They think they are special, and they don’t mind showing it! They might even walk around in a proud way, just like a peacock does when showing off its feathers. Originally published at - learningenglish.voanews.com/a...
