Idioms

Idioms are common phrases or terms whose meaning is changed.

Idioms exist in every language.

They are phrases that aren’t meant to be taken literally, but their meaning can be understood by their popular use.

For example, if you say someone has “cold feet,” it doesn’t mean their toes are actually cold. Rather, it means they’re nervous about something.

We use idioms every day, but have you ever wondered where these, often non-sensical, common expressions actually come from?

Raining cats & dogs

Let your hair diown
