A task that is "like eating a piece of cake" is a task that is easy. Cake, while fattening, is easy to digest. Therefore, doing a task like eating cake, is a task that is easy. Thus, the idiom, "a piece of cake, " was born. -

11 You're welcome

The one very common English idiom that doesn't seem to be remembered or thought of as an idiom, but we use it everyday, is: "You're welcome".

Think about it: If you say, "Thank you", and I say, "You're welcome", then by the literal meaning of the words, what am I welcome to? Am I welcome to thank you again, or more often? Am I welcome to your assistance for whatever I thanked you for? Usually not. It's a customary set of words spoken in response to "Thank you", but have no literal meaning themselves. -

This is so cool! I never even thought it was an idiom! Thanks! I had to do a project on idioms and I made a comic about this!

I never THOUGHT about this (")...

Never thought of it this way. But I still agree. Thanks. Oh, wait. Instead of you're welcome, what should we use? Something like from Seinfeld?
"You are SO good looking. " Oh, wait, that's Bless you.
Really, I'm sorry. Really, what should we use, though?!

14 Hit the books

Hiting the books mean it's very hard.
If you made a test and it's was difficult, you can say it was like you hiding books.

15 Black and white


I love this idiom. For some reason, it just stands out to me. It seems to me that the person that is representing black is wrong. (I'm not saying this because of racism because I'm not racist. I'm also black myself. I just think that the person that is black, figuratively speaking, is wrong, because it is darker than the color white. )
