Barend – (at stake) August 25, 2016
I wondered about the origin of modern “…at stake” while reading in Hamlet: “… but greatly to find quarrel in a straw when honour’s at the stake”, and wether Shakespear may be it. Might yet be, as he seems to have taken it from his observance of the bear being bated by the dogs. As far as I know these bears were tied to stakes?

Barbie – (in black and white) April 15, 2016
Sometimes, learning English is too complicated, when you face such types of idioms. The meaning of “in black and white” is very different from it’s literal meaning.
I wish this example was correct.
Hey, I have got visa to visit Canada you can check it in those black and white.

This idiom inspired me a lot and it’s really good to keep your chin up when things are not okay for you. I would like to add one example: My brother is a brave man, he always keep his chin up.
