They say "ignorance is bliss," but there's no reason to "take a rain check" on learning more about the English language. What does it mean for something to be "a dime a dozen"? Why on earth would you tell someone to "break a leg" when wishing them good luck? Idioms and expressions are a part of everyday English, but they aren't always the easiest to figure out.
