English Idiom: The whole kit and caboodle
Today’s idiom is an extension of caboodle I introduced yesterday.
Today, I am going to present the whole kit and caboodle.
People use this idiom when they want to include everything.
Imagine if someone’s house, unfortunately, burns down.
It’s terrible, and they have now lost the whole kit and caboodle.
Or consider for a moment that your kids have finally grown up and moved out.
Now is your chance to sell the whole kit and caboodle, move to Hawaii and buy a tiny retirement home before the kids try to move back in with you again.
