" A Thousand Words In Idioms"
Jientje has started a wonderful photo challenge: "As long as people have been around, they have tried to communicate with each other. As a means of getting the message across as clearly as possible, idioms and sayings have found their way into our language.
Now, because a picture paints a thousand words, I thought it would be nice to make this a new photo challenge. The idea is to pick an idiom, or a saying, ( even slang is allowed) and illustrate it with a picture. Each week we’ll cover two letters of the alphabet, okay?"
If “language is the dress of thoughts” ( Johnson), then idioms must the wardrobe …
G & H
If you would like, see: A - F.
Each meaning has a link to the page where I got it from, and where they post about the origins of the saying/idioms.
Get your goat:
Meaning: Make you annoyed or angry.I couldn't make up my mind, so you get a bonus H today.
Straight from the horse's mouth:
Meaning: Someone who emerges to prominence; being previously little known.
