Kids are Idioms
    #27071326 - 12/04/20 07:18 AM (3 years, 1 month ago)

What are some of the expressions you messed up as a kid.  Alternatively, if American English isn't your first language, what are some of the idioms that you grew up with.

Example:

Make ends meet

I thought this meant that you didn't have enough money for MEAT at dinner time or END of day meal.

I dont know about messing them up, but there sure are some idioms I didnt understand for a long time like
"The ends (dont) justify the means" which yours made me think of.

I can't think of any expressions I messed up at the moment...

My little brother, though, used to say "mawn lower" instead of "lawn mower" ... always thought it was pretty cute.

"You can't have your cake and eat it"

I don't understand. If it's there, why can't I eat it? Is it caged up or something?
