  • What is the meaning of "Ain't that a kick in the head"? I don't understand.

    Hello! Is this phrase "Ain't that a kick in the head" an idiom? How to understand its meaning?


    Best answer

    Hello HumMED. The phrase "A kick in the head" means - A devastating or disappointing setback or failure. "Ain't that a kick in the head" simply means something surprising, or something that suddenly makes you realize something. For instance, you've studied a certain book for your exam, only to find out the day before, that you are writing your test based on a different book(Well now, ain't that a kick in the head?) Or, you've lost a tennis match(Losing the match was a kick in the head.) Please note that the phrase "A kick in the head" does not refer to a positive surprise, but rather, a negative one. I hope this helps, and, all the best on your language learning journey.
