Thanks Mark, can you make a video about the difference of block and neighborhood and community!! How can we use then and what are the differences please 💟
Mark, I think I can explain why the idiom "to sleep like a baby" does have sense. Of course some babies can be very restless and they might not let their parents to sleep all the night. But when a baby is sleeping their face is completely tranquil, absolutely unanxcious. You can feel that that creature still hasn't had any troubles, bad thoughts or hard times. They can sometimes smile sleeping. They are still like in a different world that is a far cry from the real world with all that we have in it. This period is short, it really lasts while people in their baby's period of life. Adults never have that kind of expression on their face when sleeping. We're full of heavy thoughts and can't probably switch ourselves off of the real life even when sleeping. When you say "I slept like a baby" it means "I slept as if there were no troubles in my life. Nothing bad, no hard experience". People usually say this phrase being guests at someone's place and spending a night there. The context is usually like that. The people usually ask you in the morning: "How did you sleep?" And you say to them - "Great! I slept like a baby". This is a compliment to those people that you felt so safe and comfortable in your bed in their house that you were sleeping peacefully and serenely. Just like a baby. The idiom 'to sleep like a log" is easy to understand but in my opinion it has a different sensation. For me it relates to the deep sleeping without any dreams nearly being unconscious. It's appropriate for a situation when a person is dead tired and completely worn out. Or if a person is very drunk, just hammered. In that case a person will crash and just pass out. No dreams or feelings. A person just like immediately falls through into a deep black pit till morning. A person in that state won't wake up having a horrible thounderstorm behind the window. Nothing is able to force to wake them up because they're just like a log at that moment :) Not like a baby :) Thank you very much, Mark! You always give food for thought in your videos! :)
Hey Mark! In our context, we say only one of these three idioms: "sleep like a baby", because they sleep rapidly and deeply many times in one day. Some people can't sleep without using drugs. Personally, I usually sleep seven hours like a baby. God bless you!
Seems like Alberta back to summer 😊 good to see y’a… thanks for the idioms, actually the coverage times is also perfect to me.. have a good rest of the day..
Hey Prof, seeing you in good shape and in a funny mood is so good. Please don't stop; make a video at least once a week, for crying out loud!)))))))))))))))😅😂😂
I'm spying on Mark since approximately for 4 years, and I enjoyed ever since ! The German says ''I wish you neck and leg broke '' wishing for someone a good luck.
In russian language there's an equivalent to an idiom, "break a leg" and the direct translation might have sounded something like, "neither fluff nor a feather" (I assume the full phrase must have been sth like, "I wish you get neither fluff nor a feather") which likewise doesn't have too much sense. But unlike the English idiom which is self-sufficient and doesn't need a respond, when in russian smb wishes you good luck by saying, "neither fluff nor a feather" that person who was told this expression supposed to answer sth like, "Get the hell out of here". And so it's like a simple math two negative statements being added to each other equal a positive outcome.
It you really ask... 1. the pigs are sweating. but it means something else. pigs love to be wet and love to lie in puddles. this helps them to cool the body. therefore, to sweat like a pig is to be absolutely wet in hot weather. 2. sleep like a baby. meaning a carefree calm sleep, when you don’t have to rush anywhere or worry about something. P.s. about breaking a leg. our people also have a very strange wish for good luck .... when you are going to do something important or exciting, a person can tell you: -well, neither fluff nor feather... and you have to answer this: -to crap! (Dash it) Anf ritual done... Now you be have lucky!.... this can also be explained by this very old expression that comes from the wish for a successful hunt blah blah.... but it also looks strange ahaahah
I've been always thinking that sweating like a pig refered to the fact that overweight people sweat more, and the word pig is offensively related to the them. Which I never endorsed, but this totally made sense to me. And that is why I've been always avoiding using this idiom. So maybe I understood this incorrectly and it has absolutely nothing to do with that offensive meaning, and I can start using it, lol.
Babies sleep happily without any heavy thoughts to worry about. So if someone sleeps like a baby he is not burdened by something to worry about. So this happy one just enjoys sleeping
Put one's foot in one's mouth, twist one's arm, play it with ear, bite a bullet, it rains cats and dogs, take a rain check, face the music, driving me up the wall, getting under one's skin or hair, leave someone out to dry , throw someone under the bus . Out for the count ants in one's pants, cat on a hot tin roof , saying someone is completely nuts ( crazy) , I'm not working for peanuts which means I'm not working for no money. Pigtails 😊 bee's knees, taking the biscuits, dog's bollocks ( sorry for this one , it's rude), which means the best of something, fit as a fiddle, apple of the eye, knock them Dead,

Thanks!
Wonderful Sir
I love you country and I love your videos thanks for that
"To go bananas" is another weird one
I already know these idioms. The weirdest one is to break a leg, me, personally, can't figure it out. ❤
TIMBER)))
I ('ve) been working like a dog, and
I'll be sleeping like a log!)
I'm spying on Mark since approximately for 4 years, and I enjoyed ever since !
The German says ''I wish you neck and leg broke '' wishing for someone a good luck.
No more rain in Canada

I'm interested
On Poland we also say break yours legs.
The phrase 'lie through your teeth' is probably the same kind of idiom
Sleep like a baby makes sense because babies do not have worries and stresses. Maybe!!! Thanks
nice
I sweat like a horse.
Tell it to the fish

Sleep like a log😂, sounds rude for me, but it's more true, cause babies wake up often at night.
butter me up

Pigs don't sweat

Of course I was Spying 👀 on you but how did you know that 😮
I work like a dog . Means hardworking. I neve seen a dog working 😂😂😂 an other one is CATFISHING. I don’t know if cats go fishing .
Is this idiom grametically correct and what it means? "I can make myself understood."
رجع بخفي حنين
In persian we say: scared like a dog. It doesn't make sense at all. Dogs are brave animals, aren't they?
About half of English idioms do not make sense to me, like raining dogs and cats
It makes sense when we say sleep like a baby. Because babies have no concern in life but adults have. So they sleep tight like a log
