English Expression: A feather in your cap
A feather in your cap is a universally understood expression that signifies a significant achievement, a badge of pride or honour that anyone can earn.
My students and I came upon this expression in one of the news articles that we used in class last week.
If you have graduated from high school, then that is a feather in your cap.
If you have accomplished something such as completing a project at work, completing an online cooking course or even finally learning how to type without looking at the keyboard, that is a feather in your cap.
