Idioms in English

        I have known only a few idioms in English, some of them are learned from my English speaking friends, and some of them are learned from TV shows. I want to introduce two of my favorite English idioms here.

 I used to have some English native speaker teachers in my high school. One of them has taught us an English idiom, which is “tough cookie”. The expression of “tough cookie” means people who are self-confident and with ambitious. They will do things are necessary to get what they want. 

Another expression “Himalayan blunder” is from a history book which called “The Himalayan Blunder”, this book describes a serious failure in a war, and therefore, this expression means a person who makes a serious stupid mistake.
