English In Use - 'Dying To Meet You'

A selection of headlines from stories in the news. They use English in a way that you might think is intended to confuse but it's all perfectly clear to the native speaker.

'Dying To Meet You' is a phrase that we often use, and so it was appropriate for a Daily Star headline on a story that Princess Kate was shocked to see a 'dead body' when she visited the Turner Contemporary gallery in Margate.  The 'body' was in fact a piece of art by local contributor Jeremy Miller.  

If you're dying to do something, it simply means you are very eager to do it.
