good afternoon!
i love idioms, just absolutely love them.
i think this is because i didn't really 'get' them until i was in my mid-40's. so now i find them fascinating, and i remember pretty much every idiom i've ever heard in my entire life.
here's one definition of an idiom: a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g., rain cats and dogs, see the light).
i even receive a daily 'word of the day' email, which also includes an idiom each day and it's meaning.
so for today's Question of the Day, let's have some fun......
Let's see how many idioms we can think of!
i'll start!
in a (pretty) pickle -- which means, in a mess; in trouble.
okay, now it's your turn!
