what is your favorite idiom and what does it mean?

Answer 1

I like idioms!
Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater. It means don't get rid of everything just because a part of it is bad. Keep the good (the baby) and throw out the bad (the bathwater.)

Answer 2

An Idiom is an expression (i.e. term or phrase) whose meaning cannot be deduced from the literal definitions and the arrangement of its parts, but refers instead to a figurative meaning that is known only through conventional use. (ex. kick the bucket does not mean to kick a bucket)

Hmm I guess my favorite idiom would be:

Cowboy up/ Man up: Be a man and get the job done. Quit making excuses.

Answer 3

Mine's "do not judge a book by its cover". The reason I like it because it's a very useful idiom in our life. Until now, I've encountered many fake people with ugly intentions.You may not believe what you've seen until you've tried it on your own.
*sigh*this's the reality of the world.

Answer 4

What goes around comes around. (if that counts for an idiom, might be more of a phrase, but I like it nevertheless)

I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
