Litnax Posted October 24, 2015 Report Posted October 24, 2015 I dedicate these idioms to my cat, John:1] My brother and his ex-wife has a nasty cat-and-dog life.2] My useless brother always try to put the cat among the pigeons.3] I better wait and see which way the cat jumps before changing my goals.4] It was raining pitchforks and hammer handles yesterday. Meow! Quote
czarina84 Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 "In the doghouse" refers to someone who is in trouble. "If you mess with the bull, you get the horns" is relatively self-explanatory. "Stirred up a hornet's nest" is to bring up a subject which causes a lot of anger and commotion amongst people. Quote
Feather Posted December 7, 2015 Report Posted December 7, 2015 I have quite a common idiom, which has been brought in animal form. "The cat kicked the bucket". I think the above is an effective idiom since if you kicked the bucket you would feel pain and it reflects that idea to death so the "cat passed away" (which is the real meaning of that idiom). Quote
