Today, we’re talking about a fun expression that sounds a bit dangerous but is actually all about friendship: partners in crime. This phrase is used to describe two people who are always together, often doing mischievous or playful things. Don’t worry, it doesn’t mean they are committing real crimes! It just means they love to work together, especially on something exciting or sneaky. Think of two best friends who always come up with fun ideas—whether they’re sneaking snacks into a movie theater or planning a surprise birthday party. In these cases, they could be called partners in crime. This idiom shows that two people share a strong bond and often help each other out, sometimes in ways that are a little bit secretive. If you’ve ever had a close friend you do everything with, you may have heard people say you’re two peas in a pod. This expression means that two people are very similar and always together, just like partners in crime. Imagine two siblings who are inseparable—they’re like two peas in a pod, sharing everything and spending all their time together. Another way to describe such close friends is to say they are thick as thieves. This phrase paints a picture of two people who are extremely close, sharing secrets and always supporting each other. Just like partners in crime, these friends stick together through everything. So if you and your best friend are always looking out for each other, you could say, “We’re thick as thieves!” Want to learn more about this and other idioms, check out our blog at https://englishsuccesscoaching.com or subscribe to @englishsuccesscoaching to get updates on new videos.
