10 funniest English Idioms

I love learning idioms because the more idioms I know, the more native-like your language I will sound and by learning idioms, I will learn more about the culture of the place I am living.

But do you know what is an idiom?

Idioms are words, phrases, or expressions that are either grammatically unusual, as in, “Long time, no see!”, or their meaning cannot be taken literally, as in, “It’s raining cats and dogs!”This expression does not mean that cats and dogs are falling from the sky, but it is a metaphorical expression (word picture) that means that it is raining very heavily.
