a whale of a time

Những giờ phút vui chơi thỏa thích, tuyệt vời


Meaning:
If you have a whale of a time, you have a great time and really enjoy yourself.

Origin:The whale, as everyone knows, is the largest mammal on this planet. The blue whale can sometimes grow to over a hundred feet long. Therefore when you say ‘a whale of something’, what you mean is ‘a large or big amount of something’.
For example:
  • I went to a karaoke club with my friends last night and we had a whale of a time. It was great!
  • Ngọc said she had a whale of a time at the party. I wish I'd gone too now.

Vinnie said he had a whale of a time at the jazz festival and he
  1. wishes he hadn't gone
  2. wants to go again next year
  3. probably won't bother going again
