It’s easy to speak in simple words, but sometimes you want to spice up your everyday language with more interesting phrases. There are also situations when it is not always possible to express your thoughts fully in simple words. So, that’s when idioms come to the rescue! They not only allow you to express yourself more imaginatively but also to say something or describe complex situations in just a few words.
In this quiz, we’ll test your knowledge of commonly used idioms. It sounds like a really easy task, but here is the twist: the idioms start off simple but get harder as you go.
Let’s see how well you do! 🚀

30/31. Didn’t know the Spanish one about pumpkins. Happy to see idioms from other countries. They were a good learning opportunity!

Same score, but it was the Japanese one I didn't get. I thought having an octopus on one's face would be very confusing as you wouldn't know where it was going to put it tentacles next!

As a native English speaker I got every one except for the Japanese and Spanish ones.

I got 31 but the Italian one was a complete guess. The Japanese one was an educated guess, but despite being half Japanese and spending twenty years in Japan I have never heard this one before.

No. 12 - where I come from the the UK, to 'bite the bullet' means to face up to a problem, not endure a painful experience.

The reason "to bite the bullet" means endure a painful experience is referring to how one endured the treatment of wounds without anesthesia--- ofttimes the patient would literally clench a bullet between their teeth to give themselves another pain upon which to focus/distract from the surgery being done upon them elsewhere.
