About Idioms

               Have you ever watched a movie or listened to a song and faced expressions that appeared to be totally out of the context? More than this, have you picked up a dictionary and tried your best to translate them and ended up much more confused?
                Do not worry, you are not getting crazy. Those expressions are IDIOMS. They can give exactly the meaning or comparisson you need in a sentence, exactly when and the way you need it! (gee, it looks like a commercial...) Well, IDIOMS are available in many languages in the world, yeah, you can find them next to your home.
                It's necessary to note that the expressions and their meanings may change a lot from a language to another because, in most of times, they cannot be translated or understood considering the exact and usual meaning of the words that compound them. In other words, you should not interpret them literally.
                 Use IDIOMS, they are fun, fast and safe. All right, maybe they aren't, but they are, at least, important for you to improve your knowledge of a language and not to go through embarrassing situations, for exemple, if someone comes to you and say "it takes two to tango" and you think that he or she is inviting you to dance... Also, if your mother tells you to "hit the books", do not start to maltreat them, because, actually, she is wanting you to study. 
                 Warnings: IDIOMS aren't right for everyone they may cause bloating, cramping, hair loss, disturbing visions and fits of rage. Children under three and people too literal should not be exposed to them. Do not get IDIOMS wet, and never feed it after midnight. If you experience embarrassing situations, give your best fake smile, pretend you were just making fun and go consult your psychologist immediately.
