This is so cool and awesome. It’ll definitely help me in my writing. It’s good that you posted this in the begging of the year, because I still have so many chances in the year when I can use it. Test, creative writing, whatever it is I can use them.

This was super cool. It's amazing that the meaning of the idioms are completely different then what you might think they actually mean. While I was reading my authors purpose book (Capture the flag.) I found some idioms like, "it ain't over till the fat lady sings..." which means you don't know what will happen until the event ends. Or we bit off more than we could chew means you are dealing with stuff that is to much for you to handle.

This article is really cool! I never thought about where idioms actually came from. Something that surprised me was that to “get up on the wrong side of the bed” or “get up on the left side of the bed” came from a Roman superstition. They thought that if you woke up on the left side of the bed you had bad luck for a day.

One idiom I really haven't heard before is "Have an ax to grind" this means to have a dispute or issue to take up with another person and it first appeared in a Pennsylvania newspaper. I bet anyone reading that paper was so confused!
