Because it is believed that by wishing some one luck, they will be jinxed and then shall fail. Break a leg is a way to say good luck without being jinxed and was subtlety believed that by wishing them bad luck, they will receive good luck in turn. The ones domnic pointed out are relatively stupid in the fact that they don't really make much sense, and/or could be substituted for much better and more sensible sentences. Break a leg does make sense as long as you know the back story of it.

The phrase "break a leg" comes from theatre, the "legs" of the stage are where you enter from, so to "break a leg" would mean to be able to be on stage.

I love how he didn’t even talk about the ‘beat around the bush’ idiom.

For those who want to learn more about the cats and dogs idiom, it is actually rather morbid in origin. "The phrase is supposed to have originated in England in the 17th century. City streets were then filthy and heavy rain would occasionally carry along dead animals. Richard Brome's The City Witt, 1652 has the line 'It shall rain dogs and polecats'. Also, cats and dogs both have ancient associations with bad weather."

I absolutely love Idioms, and this is despite being a super right brain person. I just adore that we have these phrases that are entitely metaphorical yet are still widely used by everyone. Basically for every idiom, at some point in history, someone came up with a cool fun way to describe something and everyone who heard it liked it so much that it became a permanent fixture in the language. How awesome is that?

Not sure if you mean't is as a joke or something but that's not actually an idiom. A "blue moon" is an extra full moon that happens once every two to three years. There are normally 12 full moons per year but every few years there are 13. When this happens, the "blue moon" is the third full moon of the season with four full moons in it. It's a proper term so the phrase doesn't gain any additional meaning from it's composition that it's components didn't already have.

The only one here that makes sense to me is “wouldn’t be caught dead. Because yes, even though you can’t feel or express anything when you’re dead, I feel that’s the point of the statement. What you’re wearing when you are dead doesn’t matter, because you are dead, but to me it makes sense, because it implies you feel so strongly about it, that you wouldn’t even want to wear it if you were dead.

This made my day 😁😁😁 I explained to my nephew about raining cats and dogs because of the thunder that came with the rain. Like cats and dogs are fighting 😂😂😂

I’m sure someone’s already said this but the raining cats and dogs thing comes from 17th CE England!! Elizabethan houses had straw roofs that stray animals would often nest in, and when it rained they’d slip off

Man, I aced that test! It was a piece of lasagna!

I think "turn a blind eye" might be that if you have one good eye and one blind eye, you turn your blind eye to the thing, despite having already seen it with your good eye

I was thinking something along those lines, too. Domics talked about how it doesn't matter whether or not you turn your head if you're already blind in both eyes, and I was like, "Who said anything about both eyes? Maybe they're just blind in one, and that's the direction they turn."

it's also about acting as if you hadn't seen the thing when you turn a blind eye; I can tell you outright that if your left eye is blind and someone does something on the left, you really can't see it. So if someone else asks, you can say you didn't see it, but since it's metaphorical, you can lie

The BEST video of eng grammer I've ever found like your videos are SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO funny and good I just enjoyed watching it, and also the line that ENGLISH SUCKS was just AWESOME😄😄KEEP IT UP VROO Your NEW subscriber here

I remember hearing the origin of the "Bob's your uncle" thing being about the titular Bob was in a prestigious position. And in the example he had gotten his (presumably) nephew something, think it was a position of power or something like that. And when asked about how the nephew got this position it was *easy when Bob's your uncle.*

“It’s raining cats and dogs” came from medieval England, a time where thatched roofs were a prominent architectural feature. Pets, such as cats and dogs, would often climb onto the low roof and laze the day away, basking in the heat of the sun without having to worry about predators. When it rained however, the thatch would collapse under them and so the dogs and cats would fall through the ceiling, hence the term “raining cats and dogs”. Leave a like if this helped yo! :)

i feel like "turn a blind eye" was like..if you have one normal eye and one blind eye- you'd just turn your head so your blind eye was facing the person?? and "going downhill" also makes sense to me! like the other idiom of "snowballing" because it usually means it started off harmless, but is now getting faster and more dangerous to control

I literally subscribed this channel and I only saw 1 video even though I liked it so much thanks 👍

“Turn a blind eye”. As in you are blind in one eye and when you see something bad or something like that you turn your head so the eye that’s blind is facing the event which results in you not doing anything

Xp Level Googolplex I thought of it as the “turning” away being leaving something as it is. Like the sign can’t stop me because I can’t read, except it’s a wise old man who can actually see, but it pretending to be blind when he sees some kid doing something they shouldn’t be doing if that literally makes any sense
