I am also considering starting threads to collect terms that mean “I like it,” and terms that mean “I don't like it.” Or terms of approval and terms of disapproval. Would that be helpful?

If I ever have enough time, I will also start a thread and list all the idioms that have been explained in this board. Someday !!!

Re: List of Idioms I plan to explain

If anyone here would like to make a list of every idiom explained on this Board, and keep it up to date, I would happily let you do that !!!!

Maybe someone could make a list up to a certain day, and then someone else could volunteer to keep it current after that date…..

That would be awesome !   [ I just posted “awesome.” ]

Re: List of Idioms I plan to explain

OM yes you are clearly doing something right ( maybe everything!), sorry I didn't read the title of your post carefully and missed the fact that “you plan ” to explain these idioms.
Excuse me impatience & keep up the good work please,
thanks & Blessings

Re: List of Idioms I plan to explain

Yikes ! (Exclamation of surprise with some dismay, distress)

The list is growing MUCH faster than I can post. If you can explain anything on this list, please go right ahead and post it !! Help !!

Now I will go respond to Meenakshi's request to explain “It's a wash.” Does anyone else have a special request?
