Idiom of the Day
Posted by: Josef EssbergerAn idiom is a group of words in current usage having a meaning that is not deducible from those of the individual words. For example, “to rain cats and dogs” – which means “to rain very heavily” – is an idiom; and “over the moon” – which means “extremely happy” – is another idiom. In both cases, you would have a hard time understanding the real meaning if you did not already know these idioms!
Now you can learn a new idiom every day (as well as some other words of the day if you like).
