Where did all our idioms originate?

Question

Idioms like "Bull in a China Shop" Where did they come from?

Answer 1

Idiomatic Expressions are expressions that exist to reflect a culture..so they are culture-bound...........they rise and exist because of people actions and actuations and they differ from one country to another...and they can't even be translated even in the universal language English............let's have some examples..
For Middle East People they say............

Oh your eyes are bright...............it means good to know you have good news to tell me.......see it is incomprehensible and sound meaningless............

or Asian People say...........
You are cryiing like an onion...emaning you are too sensitive...
See they meant nothing to other culture..........

So all idiomatic expressions are culture-based..and if they are used regularly because they are already absorb in the language and that is how they are put into use.....

While most of english idiomatic expressions are knowsn it is all because it became a mouth-to-mouth expression , acquired and used by the other cultures..all because of its popularity in use ok???got it?
