New Feature

A new feature here at the blog. English Idioms. An idiom is generally a colloquial metaphor — a term requiring some foundational knowledge, information, or experience, to use only within a culture, where conversational parties must possess common cultural references. Therefore, idioms are not considered part of the language, but part of the culture. As culture typically is localized, idioms often are useless beyond their local context; nevertheless, some idioms can be more universal than others, can be easily translated, and the metamorphic meaning can be deduced. Got one send to us and we will publish. We will call the feature "Idioms for Idiots". Stay tuned.
