IDIOT’S GUIDE TO IDIOMS

By

Michael Edwin Q.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,

And a lot messier

A fool and his money are soon parted,

But how did they get together in the first place?

Actions speak louder than words,

Unless you know my mother-in-law

Blood is thicker than water,

Unless you live by the Hudson River

Curiosity killed the cat

It also freaked the dog out

As busy as a beaver

And dam proud of it

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch,

They might be roosters

Don’t look a gift horse in the mouth

Until he’s brushed his teeth

Don’t put all your eggs in one basket,

Put them in the refrigerator, they last longer

The bigger they are the harder they fall

And if they’re really big, they roll

You can lead a horse to water,

But you can’t push him to water

It takes two to tango,

But at least four to square dance

Great minds think a lot

Don’t you agree?
