Idiom List

Hi there! I was looking up idioms out of boredom and I found this list of 66 idioms that have their meanings included. It isn't a lot, but I found it neat and I discovered some new phrases that I never heard of before like "a penny for your thoughts". If you're interested, here is the link.

    George Orwell: "Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print."

    This list of sayings is useful if you're teaching an English language learner the sayings of spoken English that do not translate directly. Also useful to allay boredom. Useful for writers to tack above their writing desks under the heading, "Avoid using these cliches in writing."
