SLANGS AND IDIOMS




sick as a dog - you are very, very sick
under the weather- feel sad, depressed
keep your chin up- maintain optimistic in spite of difficulties
when it rains, it pours! - very bad situation, the worst
lickety-split - get better soon, quickly

Related to ANIMALS:
A little bird told me- keeping your source of inf. secret
Whale of a time- to have a great time
Take the bull by the horns- to face a problem
Night owl- someone who stays up late at night
Rat race- the fast pace of life
Eat crow- to be humiliated
Call the dogs off- a requests to stop
Get your ducks in a row- to get your affairs in order
