Idioms are phrases or expressions with figurative meanings that differ from their literal meanings. They are often used to convey a message in a creative and humorous way. 
In this episode we will look at the following idioms:
1. 'Raining cats and dogs' - It is raining hard.
2. 'All ears' - I am listening.
3. 'Bite the bullet' - Do something uncomfortable.
4. 'Caught red handed' - Caught in the act of doing a crime.

Idioms are interesting and have an interesting history. They are entertaining and learned through exposure and use. If you like this podcast or have any suggestions please leave a comment. I would like to know your favorite idiom, let me know in the comments below :)
