[@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.

“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

[@ryye1829]

Xp Level Googolplex I thought of it as the “turning” away being leaving something as it is. Like the sign can’t stop me because I can’t read, except it’s a wise old man who can actually see, but it pretending to be blind when he sees some kid doing something they shouldn’t be doing if that literally makes any sense

[@Alex-wi1mx]

@@ryye1829the origin of the phrase is Admiral Nelson in the Napoleonic Wars. In a naval battle, he received an order to retreat. He turned his blind eye to his telescope, effectively sauing "I didnt see that order" and continued the assualt, winning the day.

I think "turn a blind eye" might be that if you have one good eye and one blind eye, you turn your blind eye to the thing, despite having already seen it with your good eye

[@superduperenglishidioms]

That's a great explanation, I think it's true.

[@nininyoko13]

That would explain things

[@catbatrat1760]

I was thinking something along those lines, too. Domics talked about how it doesn't matter whether or not you turn your head if you're already blind in both eyes, and I was like, "Who said anything about both eyes? Maybe they're just blind in one, and that's the direction they turn."

[@superduperenglishidioms]

@@catbatrat1760 - I think I agree with you!

[@benjesta]

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

[@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.

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.

[@wyattsalm349]

The expression “raining cats and dogs” comes fro when the roofs of houses would be made of straw and grass so animals (such as cats and dogs) would burrow in them and if it rained enough the roof would collapse causing the inhabitants of the roof to fall into the house thus the phrase “it’s raining cats and dogs” Thank you for coming to my ted talk

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."

[@vinnythepoet3483]

“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! :)

"I'm in a Pickle". When an important/noble/royal person died while away from their homeland, their body was sealed into a keg of rum (preferabley Navy Rum) for transportation home. This pickled/preserved them for the duration of the journey. Navy Rum is more potent than regular rum (57 proof not 43 proof for example). This was because if a barrel of rum was spilt/split/hit with a cannon ball while in the store there was a danger that ir would contaminiate the black powder for the cannons/muskets. The higher proof was so that the powder would still be usable in a battle.
