                 BAD NEWS TRAVELS FAST 

                                               (KÖTÜ HABER TEZ YAYILIR)



 

The idiom bad news travels fast is another way to say people spread news about bad events very quickly.

The phrase bad news travels fast means that news about misfortune and trouble circulates quickly. The phrase 'ill news spreads apace' is another idiom which has the same meaning.


Examples

1.John: "How have you heard of his arrest by the federal police?" Jane: "Well, bad news travels fast."

2. As the saying goes, bad news travels fast. I called my husband to tell him about my car accident, but my sister had already sent him a text message.

3.A: "How does the whole school already know that I got suspended?" B: "Well, bad news travels fast."
