The idioms hit the nail on the head with respect to the most common ones used and provide great learning, and the examples were entertaining too - killing two birds with one stone I’d say. And I still can’t wrap my head around how she managed to present 100 idioms so succinctly! In a nutshell, she hits the ball out of the park with this one!

There's a couple of idioms that express a totality of any item or experience that both come from the British during WWII. The first is "head, ass, and gas mask." An example is, "I was totally involved, head, ass, and gas mask." The second one derives from a bomber machine gunner that empties his string of bullets that is about 27 feet long, simply stated, 'the whole nine yards." The example is, "I used up the whole nine yards." Loove your stuff...Dr. Rick Olsen

31:03 instead of plenty more fish in the sea with this example, we say in Germany “other fathers have beautiful daughters, too/ other mums have beautiful sons, too”. We are way more direct, but both funny expressions mean the same thing

I am a international student in Japan managing to get admission for university, and I think I made a mistake that I put all my eggs in one basket and I failed. But every cloud has a silver cloud, I still have chances. Though I am on thin ice now I have to keep my chin up and pull myself together to face the next test. And I really like "We will cross that bridge when we come to it". Tom Cruise said a similar sentence in Mission Impossible 6.

In high school I joined a theatre club and the teacher told me that in theatre culture, it's considered a jinx to wish someone's luck before the show starts, hence the phrase "break a leg" is used instead. I was astounded when I first learn about it because I imagine people really do believe these sort of things back then, yet still they try to find a way to show that they care. Kinda heartwarming though :)

Hi Lucy! Congratulations on this video, it is still one of my favourites 3 years later! I wonder if you could still answer some questions about it, even though it was posted so long ago. - Easy question first: Would "getting sth off my chest" be equivalent to 24. "getting sth out of my system"? - Now a harder one: How would "a blessing in disguise" be different from "every cloud has a silver lining"? Could they refer to the same situation, i.e. sth negative that ended up having a bright side? Huge thanks in advance! 🍉😇

In Spanish we have a similar expression to "Better late than never" 5:11 "Más vale tarde que nunca" but we use it more commonly to persuade someone to drive slowly, and not so fast that they might have a car accident and die because of it.

Thank you. I enjoyed this. Here is one with which I hope you can help me. It is written, "Parsifal and [I don't remember the name] slept eye to eye, nose to nose, knees to knees, and toes to toes." Eye to eye usually means in agreement, no? Nose to nose usually means confrontation, no? Toe to toe usually means confrontation or competition, no? Knees to knees? What do you think? Thanks for the videos.
