What are some good idioms you know? Here are a bunch I thought I'd share: 1. Cool as a cucumber Meaning: calm and composed, especially in stressful situations Example: She was as cool as a cucumber during her job interview. 2. Hold your horses Meaning: wait a minute; be patient Example: He still has to shower before we can leave — hold your horses. 3. Kick the bucket Meaning: to die Example: Many people want to travel the world before they kick the bucket. 4. Blue in the face Meaning: exhausted from great, generally futile, effort Example: You can beg until you’re blue in the face, but you’re not having ice cream for dinner. 5. Head in the clouds Meaning: oblivious or having unrealistic ideas Example: He has his head in the clouds if he thinks he can pass his test without studying. 6. Dead as a doornail Meaning: to be completely devoid of life Example: I forgot to water my flowers, and now they’re as dead as a doornail. 7. Piece of cake Meaning: very easy to do or accomplish Example: She was nervous about her driving test, but it ended up being a piece of cake. 8. Out of the blue Meaning: randomly or unexpectedly Example: My grandmother came to visit out of the blue. 9. Raining cats and dogs Meaning: raining extremely heavily Example: We can’t go to the park today because it’s raining cats and dogs. 10. Cat got your tongue Meaning: unable to speak or think of something to say. Example: You’re being very quiet. Cat got your tongue?

In Norwegian we say « Du må ha is i magen» it literally means that You must have ice in your stomach. It means that You must be patient :)

May I ask you? You said: "Cat got your tongue?". Shouldn't I ask this idiom in a standard English asking way: "Did cat get your tongue?", should I?

I'd rather call them "figurative expressions". "Idioms" somehow stand very close to "idiots", scaring away people from knowledge.
