May your Troubles be Little Storms in Teacups
Part Three of The Idioms Collection
Idioms are a manner of speaking that is natural to native speakers of a language.
Every language has its own collection of wise sayings. They offer advice about how to live and also transmit some underlying ideas, principles and values of a given culture / society. These sayings are called "idioms" - or proverbs if they are longer. These combinations of words have (rarely complete sentences) a "figurative" meaning - they basically work with "pictures".
