Hi Cristina: very interesting your article; that we never end learning is a true bigger than a cathedral.

I have tried to learn English since I was a child and  every day I find new words like happened today reading your story,

Thanks to God and Italki we find people like you who are willing to share your knowledge with us. 

Hugs from Venezuela,

I've heard some of those expressions before. But not all.
Thanks for the fun and the good explanation.

I don't think British people would understand Curate's Egg. Perhaps older people might but I've never heard it. Everything else is great.

I live in Yorkshire and use all of them at some or other, with the exception of Curates Egg which I've never heard of before reading the article.
