Hello!

 

I think the topic of animal idioms in English is very exciiting, therefore, I prepared another 10 most frequently used idioms and collocations containing the names of animals in English. I hope You'll enjoy the lesson.

 

1fish for something - to try to get information from someone.

2. a woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle(slogan) - a feminist slogan, suggesting that men are superfluous to women's needs.

3. teach fish to swim(proverb)- tell someone something which he/she has already known.

4. beat a dead horse - to continue fighting a battle that has been won.

5. horse trade - to bargain in a hard and skillful way.

6. as weak as a kitten - weak, sickly.

7. a fraidy-cat - someone who is easily frightened.

8. in a pig's eye - unlikely.

9. make an ass of yourself - if you behave so stupidly that you appear ridiculous, you make an ass of yourself. 

10. bee's knees - to say that someone/something is the bee's knees means that you think they are exceptionally good.
