Hi Pamela i have never heard of a idiom ,must look it up,hope you have a lovely day my friend xx
I took your advice and have been using Duolingo to brush up on my Spanish. I “bought” some idiom lessons and they are kicking my butt!
Yes, how about 'bite off more than you can chew'.
I've been known to do that, literally and figuratively.
I think my favorite is 'piece of cake', and I am not only talking about the idiom!!!
Idioms are so hard to explain to English learners. But then they are also the hardest part to learn of another language!
Cats and dogs! Members of animal welfare organizations must stay in home though they have a strong umbrella.
Marvin Gaye caught my EYE!!
My favorite idiom is: Cut to the chase. I hate long stories only to find the end is a favor asked.
I HATE: Talk to the Hand.
I frequently use lines from a movie. My favs are:
From Wizard of OZ: Don't make me get my flying monkeys. and
From Gone With The Wind: I don't know nuthin' 'bout birthin' babies
Cool post.
xx, Carol
Pamela: interesting post, I must say my fav would be close the door were you born in a barn.
Blessings

I love some English idioms and sometimes I catch myself trying to insert them (translated word by word) into my German. Works better than the other way around usually!
