Very well explained and with examples! 

Foreign idioms are usually very difficult to learn because they do not make sense on the logical level leaving people wonder why is that a given idiom means what it means. But once you explain its origin or at even invent a helpful association people grasp it immediately. You wrote the article in such a way that it´s very possible I´ll remember these idioms' meanings for a long time without refreshing my memory. It´s really useful! Thanks!
