Go Super to Listen

Back in 2008, Christina Applegate received some terrible news. At age 36, she learned that she had breast cancer. She was frightened and worried about the difficult treatment she would have to go through in order to get better.

Fortunately, Christina’s boyfriend was a rock. No, the Rock, a rock. When someone is your rock, he supports you through a difficult time. Christina was able to lean on her boyfriend when she was sick and afraid. He was strong and solid, just like a real rock.

To be someone’s rock isn’t the only expression that uses the word rock. If you’re stuck between a rock and a hard place, for instance, you’re trapped in a bad situation. There are also a bunch of expressions that use rock as a verb. If you rock someone’s world, you excite and impress someone. But don’t rock the boat, or your friends might get mad at you for causing trouble.

Christina Applegate had surgery and recovered from her cancer. She is now completely healthy. And that rocks.
