Idiom- A group of words established by usage as having a mean not deducible from those of the  individual words (e.g.  It's raing cats and Dogs!) There is one explicit idiom - Kick the Bucket- which follows "Laughing Stock"- it is not suitable for children- there is an audible warning before that piece begins. We hear uncommon or old expressions, many of them idioms, all the time in everyday language. Their origins can often be very interesting- so I wanted to share some of them with you. In this episode (in order): Making ends meet~Mind your own beeswax~Turn a blind eye~Caught red-handed~Gaslighting~Buckle down~Back to square one~Knock on wood~The laughing stock~Kick the bucket~You've stolen my thunder!~Break a leg~Pie in the sky~A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush~Let's paint the twon red~That will cost me an arm and a leg~The writings on the wall~He let the cat out of the bag~Don't look a gift horse in the mouth~Its raining cats and dogs.
