10 oddball idioms of the world you need to know

We use idioms to pepper our speech and writing, often without realizing it. These odd little phrases express a sentiment other than their literal meaning. For example, it doesn’t really rain cats and dogs, as the world and his wife knows. And if you’re German, you already know that you’re not really living unless you’re “living like a maggot in bacon” (that’s a life of luxury). Idioms can tell us a lot about what matters to a nation, so consider these ten idioms of the world like a window to the soul.
