[@briannanimations71605]

kinda upset he didn't say or talk about the idiom "break a leg"

[@darvyen]

Because it is believed that by wishing some one luck, they will be jinxed and then shall fail. Break a leg is a way to say good luck without being jinxed and was subtlety believed that by wishing them bad luck, they will receive good luck in turn. The ones domnic pointed out are relatively stupid in the fact that they don't really make much sense, and/or could be substituted for much better and more sensible sentences. Break a leg does make sense as long as you know the back story of it.

[@arcallium]

It makes you end up in a cast

[@renno2679]

Well that's more so understandable since there's a famous origin for it.

[@fidelio6311]

@@darvyen By your logic, it should have gone in because a person could also say break an arm or if they are singing, scold your voice box or slit your throat, or hell, why not just"go die"?

[@null_point]

The phrase "break a leg" comes from theatre, the "legs" of the stage are where you enter from, so to "break a leg" would mean to be able to be on stage.

[@jesseturner8693]

Not sure if you mean't is as a joke or something but that's not actually an idiom. A "blue moon" is an extra full moon that happens once every two to three years. There are normally 12 full moons per year but every few years there are 13. When this happens, the "blue moon" is the third full moon of the season with four full moons in it. It's a proper term so the phrase doesn't gain any additional meaning from it's composition that it's components didn't already have.

I absolutely love Idioms, and this is despite being a super right brain person. I just adore that we have these phrases that are entitely metaphorical yet are still widely used by everyone. Basically for every idiom, at some point in history, someone came up with a cool fun way to describe something and everyone who heard it liked it so much that it became a permanent fixture in the language. How awesome is that?

Eg: 'enter' here 'e' is pronounced 'aeh' while here in 'pretend' it is 'ee' or in 'grande' its 'aah' - I is pronounced as 'ee' and sometimes 'aie'. Eg: 'ink' here the 'i' is pronounced 'ee' while in 'pie' its 'aie' - U is pronounced as 'you' but 'ooh' as well as 'auh' in words Eg: 'under' here the 'u' is pronounced 'auh' while in 'pouch' it is 'ooh' Like jeez pick a consistent pronouncuation.

For those who want to learn more about the cats and dogs idiom, it is actually rather morbid in origin. "The phrase is supposed to have originated in England in the 17th century. City streets were then filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals. Richard Brome's The City Witt, 1652 has the line 'It shall rain dogs and polecats'. Also, cats and dogs both have ancient associations with bad weather."

“It’s raining cats and dogs” came from medieval England, a time where thatched roofs were a prominent architectural feature. Pets, such as cats and dogs, would often climb onto the low roof and laze the day away, basking in the heat of the sun without having to worry about predators. When it rained however, the thatch would collapse under them and so the dogs and cats would fall through the ceiling, hence the term “raining cats and dogs”. Leave a like if this helped yo! :)

it's also about acting as if you hadn't seen the thing when you turn a blind eye; I can tell you outright that if your left eye is blind and someone does something on the left, you really can't see it. So if someone else asks, you can say you didn't see it, but since it's metaphorical, you can lie

“Turn a blind eye”. As in you are blind in one eye and when you see something bad or something like that you turn your head so the eye that’s blind is facing the event which results in you not doing anything

also english: - i before e except after c - homonyms, homophones, and homographs - “p” being silent in pseudonym, psychology, psoriasis, etc. - and many more weird things :)

[@AdobadoFantastico]

To turn or cast an eye means to look at. The idiom is the idea that you give it a look with an eye that doesn't see.

[@rosabelsam3956]

I just love your videos ❤😂🎉

[@landonvincent7974]

I thought "piece of cake" and "easy as pie" referred to eating those foods, not making them, since it's simple to dig into a piece of cake and eat it.

[@dearthofdoohickeys4703]

I had the same thought 🤔

[@Mirsab]

I think they are

[@Yawyna124]

@A A Not all foods are equally easy and pleasant to eat. In general, people don't have huge conniptions about eating sweets as much as they might other foods.

[@Mirsab]

@A A that's definitely not true. If you think that, be grateful for that's a blessing.

Eat your heart out is actually in reference to eating a lot to cope like their heart is broken the person is so good, so they eat *to fill the void in their soul*

[@dunya7856]

I’m sure someone’s already said this but the raining cats and dogs thing comes from 17th CE England!! Elizabethan houses had straw roofs that stray animals would often nest in, and when it rained they’d slip off

[@DizzyTrendermen]

The only one here that makes sense to me is “wouldn’t be caught dead. Because yes, even though you can’t feel or express anything when you’re dead, I feel that’s the point of the statement. What you’re wearing when you are dead doesn’t matter, because you are dead, but to me it makes sense, because it implies you feel so strongly about it, that you wouldn’t even want to wear it if you were dead.
