It never occurred to me that, not having actually "heard" them as a matter of course while growing up, they had no idea what certain things meant, until, one day, they came out and just started asking me to explain. Turns out they had been to embarrassed to ask what certain sayings meant, and had been either taking them literally, for fear of being considered stupid, or guessing on their own. I didn't think they were dumb. In fact, I felt dumb and insensitive myself for never having considered it. And we ain't young either. That's how long it took them to gather their courage to ask. Idioms are just "there". You don't even realize it, they flow by so quickly, and new ones are invented every day. My sibling was just clueless to the actual meaning of some conversations. They said that this book had been VERY helpful. This book would also be useful to someone who does not speak English as their first language (many deaf people do consider ASL their first language, so they are in the same boat). English, particularly American English, has many, many colorful, even beautiful idioms, but you just don't realize , until you stop to think about it, that you can have an entire conversation that is NOTHING but idioms. I use the freetranslation website frequently to communicate with overseas friends, and when I see my conversation in writing, I often realize I am creating an idiomatic message, and have to back up and state exactly what I mean. I can imagine it is a minefield for people trying to learn or understand English. ## Frequently Bought Together - Scholastic Dictionary of Idioms - Scholastic Pocket Dictionary of Synonyms, Antonyms, Homonyms - Scholastic Dictionary of Spelling --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4237668-scholastic-dictionary-of-idioms](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/4237668-scholastic-dictionary-of-idioms) --- *Product available on Desertcart Great Britain* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
