Itching for Idioms (Part II)

Make no bones about it, in this blog post we will deal with the second part of "Itching for Idioms".

So maybe it's no blessing in disguise, but it's still a chance for you to learn a little more about the way native speakers really speak.

However, if you're a little lost wondering what some of those things mean, we invite you to check out our previous post.

Now here are today's idioms:

1. A Dime A Dozen:
Anything that is common and easy to get.

2. Cut to the Chase:
Leave out all the unnecessary details and just get to the point.

 
3. Flash In The Pan:

4. Get Over It:

5. Good Samaritan:

As always, we hope you find these idioms useful and we encourage you to use them and to look for them in conversation, in movies or as we suggested last post on Google.
