“Idioms are words, phrases or expressions that are not interpreted logically or literally”

I’ve added a few examples to illustrate some common idioms.

#1 Can’t judge a book by its cover

Meaning: You cannot judge something based on its appearance

#2 Cry over spilled milk

Meaning: Complaining about something that happened in the past

#3 Penny for your thoughts

Meaning: It's a way of asking someone what they're thinking about

#4 Bad hair day

Meaning: My hair looks horrible today!

#5 A bed of roses

Meaning: An easy and peaceful existence

#6 Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched

Meaning: Don't count on something before it happens

#7 It was all a masquerade

Meaning: It was all a charade or fake

#8 He’s a real cheapskate

Meaning: He's cheap or thrifty with his money

#9 Black sheep of the family

Meaning: A person in the family who is considered a failure

What do you think?

  Thanks, Kim. I’ve heard most of these during my lifetime, but on other idiom quizzes, they throw some odd ones that are a puzzle to me.
