Hi everyone. Today's phrase is, Making the Rounds. Let me give you an example of how I've used it recently. Someone asked me if I'd read a particular article,

0:10

and I'd already seen that article shared by several people on social media. So I replied, Yeah, I have. It's been making the rounds on Facebook. If a piece of information is making the rounds,

0:24

it means it's being distributed and circulated around a lot of different places. Another example is this, last year there was a warning about some contaminated medication for kids. The warning was making the rounds among parents. Parents were distributing and circulating the information to each other.
