Podcasting on thin ice

podcast-logo.png Today's word is idiom. It is an expression that cannot be understood or translated literally.

For example in english we have the saying "skating on thin ice," which means in danger- as though someone is ice skating on ice that could break at any minute.

I was reminded of this great word by fellow podcaster Nicole Simon of useful-sounds.de. She turned me onto a great podcast that I think you will like- The Daily Idiom- "Idiom and slang lessons for learners of English."

I really enjoy doing Today's Podcast but I am jealous I didn't think of doing Today's Idiom.

UPDATE: Here is a great site for looking up all kinds of English idioms- WhatDoesThatMean.com.
