    “Beat around the bush” comes from hunting small animals and birds that hide in bushes and the hunters, rather than go into the bushes to capture them, would beat on the outer edges of the bushes to chase the animals out. Takes a little longer.

    “Cutting corners” . A literal example would be someone who is walking and comes to a corner, rather than make the 90 degree turn at the corner, cuts across a lawn or open space to save time and distance. This would be where the term is derived from.

    Could you please tell how to pronounce '' poem'' in American English?

      It's [ˈpəʊɪm], pOh-um. I'm not sure the American way of saying differs from the others in any discernable way.

    ✓Hit the books - to study hard
    ✓Cut corners- to do something in the easiest or cheapest way
    ✓A drop in the ocean- a very small amount compared with what is needed
    ✓To be a good catch -good choice
    ✓Beat around the bush - slowing things down and not getting to the point
    ✓I couldn't care less-
    don't care about what's going on
    ✓Drive someone up the wall- to drive someone crazy
    ✓Go down in flames-to end suddenly and completely
    ✓Make a long story short-explaining something in a few words without going into detail
    ✓Miss the boat- miss an opportunity
    ✓Sit on the fence- when a person doesn't take sides in an argument or is hesistant to choose between two sides in a dispute ( in order to remain neutral)
    ✓When pigs fly - something that never happened , impossible thing
