    When Pigs Fly ( that thing will never happen ... )
    "When pigs fly" is an informal way to joke that you will never do something. Example: "Do you think you will ever work at that company again?" Reply: "When pigs fly." "When pigs fly" is a time that will never come, because pigs will never fly. Example: "Will you ever take her on a date?" Reply: "Sure. When pigs fly!" Pigs are heavy animals that stay close to the ground and do not fly, so "when pigs fly" is a time that will never come. Example: "Do you think your brother will be successful?" Reply: "When pigs fly he will."
    That sounds are exciting ? Do you think so ?

    Out Of The Blue ( suddenly and unexpectedly ... )
    Something that happens suddenly and unexpectedly is "out of the blue". Example: "They seemed to be talking calmly when out of the blue she slapped him in the face!" It is as if suddenly it started raining on a day when the sky was clear and blue. Example: "Why did she do that?" Reply: "I have no idea. It was completely out of the blue." You are surprised and unprepared because you did not see it coming when it happens "out of the blue".

    Under The Gun ( under a lot of pressure to get something done ... )
    You are "under the gun" when you are working under tremendous pressure to get something done. Example: "Everyone at the office has been under the gun since this new manager arrived." There may be a threat you face, such as a time deadline, or a sales quota you need to meet, when you are "under the gun". Example: "I won't get off work until very late tonight. We are under the gun to finish this issue." Working "under the gun" is working hard under pressure to meet specific deadlines.

    The Bigger They Are (The Harder They Fall) ( we can beat this larger opponent ... )

    "The bigger they are, the harder they fall" means that it may seem difficult to beat larger opponents, but we can beat them and when we do they suffer a greater loss than smaller opponents. Example: "Are you worried he might be too strong?" Reply: "No, I'm not. He may be big, but the bigger they are, the harder they fall." When a larger opponent loses, the loss seems more serious than the loss of a smaller opponent. Example: "Those guys thought they would never lose. Look at them crying now." Reply: "The bigger they are, the harder they fall." Bigger people may be harder to knock down than smaller ones, but when they go down they hit the ground harder. This can be said to encourage a smaller competitor. Example: "Good luck, and remember: The bigger they are, the harder they fall."

    Ex: She knew all along that wê?Td never agree with her plan.
    -to drop in on = to call on = to visit.
    Ex: Why don?Tt we drop in on Sally a little later?
    -to wear out = to tire out = to make very weary due to difficult con***ions or hard effort.
    Ex: Does studying for the final exams wear you out?
    -put/set the cat among the pigeons = make trouble.
    Ex: You would put the cat among the pigeons if you drunk too much beer.
    -like a cat on hot bricks = nervous/nervously.
    Ex: He acts like a cat on hot bricks after breaking his mother?Ts dishes.
    -let the cat out of the bag = tell the secret.
    Ex: Don?Tt let the cat out of the bag! Please don?Tt tell anyone about my secret!
    -the cat?Ts whiskers = the best.
    Ex: He is the cat?Ts whiskers in the class.
    -It?Ts rain like cats and dogs. (this idiom is so popular, no need to explain, huh)
