#3 IDIOMS: barking up the wrong cliché

Ever wonder why we’re biting bullets, letting cats out of bags, or telling people not to cry over spilled milk when clearly that milk was expensive organic almond oat hybrid? In this episode, we pull back the curtain on idioms—the quirky little phrases that make English sound like a riddle written by a slightly tipsy poet. From “raining cats and dogs” to “breaking the ice,” we’re unpacking the weird, wild origins of expressions that make no literal sense but somehow feel perfectly normal.Of course, we won’t beat around the bush (mainly because poison ivy might be in there). Instead, we’ll dive headfirst into the rabbit hole of idioms, explore their historical oddities, and probably misuse a few along the way. So grab your hat—because we’re about to throw it in the ring—and join us for an episode where words don’t just mean things… they mean other things, too.
