People commonly use idioms or phrases that mean something different than the literal words. For example, saying "it's raining cats and dogs" doesn't mean animals are falling from the sky but rather it's raining very heavily. Other idioms discussed include "it cost an arm and a leg" meaning something was very expensive, "hit the books" to study hard, "under the weather" meaning feeling sick, "bun in the oven" meaning pregnant, and "tie the knot" meaning get married. The document encourages the reader not to take every phrase literally.
