Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “one’s moment in the sun” and its meaning is “a brief period of time in which a person is very successful, famous, popular and also he/she draws so much attention during that time”.
Example Sentence: Many people, even those with no more than a passing interest in sport, have heard of Jesse Owens, the American athlete who ruined Adolf Hitler’s moment in the sun. For there can be no question that Hitler saw the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin as the ideal platform from which to amplify Nazi propaganda and demonstrate his white supremacist ideology. But Owens, the grandchild of a slave, shattered that illusion.
