Add your Idioms and their meaning: For those not familiar with the term idiom . Idioms are often used n every speech , being a group of perhaps unrelated words / phrase used with a literal meaning. Eg: Bend Over Backwards: Go out of your way to help someone. Everybody knows and uses lots of these regularly , the clever people's probably use proverbs as well. |

UK is in 'Devil's Paradise'. I'm sure we can create new idioms, right? Devil's Paradise: an unpleasant condition with which you have little consciousness of how unpleasant or bad it is accompanied with narrow to impossible route of escape. |

I like to look up where they (idioms) originate .. For example 'not worth his salt ' meaning worthless or idle comes from when salt was a rare commodity and roman soldiers were paid in salt ... |
