Idiom: Party’s
over
Example 1:
Bruce: This
has been an excellent vacation.
Clark: So
true, but it’s sad to say this party’s
over.
Bruce: I
know. I wish vacation was longer. It always feels like vacation time flies.
Clark: Yeah, I
agree. We have to make a living though.
Example 2:
Luther: Did
you hear about the producers being arrested?
Barry: No, what
happened?
Luther: They
got caught stealing money from clients and projects. They’re in big trouble and now they’re being
questioned about all the funds that are missing.
Barry: I guess their party’s over. No more big parties and
trips on client money. Will they go to
jail?
Luther: With
enough evidence, yes.
Meaning: The party’s over means something fun, happy and pleasant must come to an end. For example, having a long paid vacation is fortunate, but one still must return to work; we can’t have vacation forever.
