Embarrassment of Riches
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the music album, see Embarrassment of Riches (EP).
An embarrassment of riches is an idiom that means an overabundance of something, or too much of a good thing, that originated in 1738 as John Ozell's translation of a French play, L'Embarras des richesses (1726).
Example: "All four of them have their own cars but there's no room in the driveway--an embarrassment of riches".
The Embarrassment of Riches is also a 1918 drama film.[1]
