There are a lot of idiomatic phrases used in churches and everyday language. We often use these w/o noticing them. However, they certainly confuse non-native speakers.
Can you help me think of some of these amusing wordplays?
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A few to start this off.....
Why is everyone so sad that she kicked the bucket?
Why would you want to quit smoking cold turkey, its yummy?
There is no way I'd want to be born again; it made me a cone head the first time.
And personally, I got busted while living in Switzerland for saying "Ich been warum” Literally "I am warm" figuratively "I am gay"
