Mark – (like father like son) May 28, 2021
It was used even earlier than 14th or 17th century A.D. It is the Bible – Ezekiel 16:44, “Like mother, like daughter,” and expresses the same idea as “Like father, like son.” Ezekiel was written anywhere between 593 B.C. and 571 B.C. So, it’s at least 2,600 years old.

Good little dictionary! Found a nitch, and at least can stay ahead with new idioms, unlike “The Free Dictionary”. Also the etymology/examples is well done.
Ekpigun oghenefejiro Tracy – (you can’t teach an old dog new tricks) May 23, 2021
You can teach an old dog new tricks, if you are ready to sacrifice and be patient because It’s going to take time or it’s going to be very challenging for the dog. so am sure that if the dogs can’t learn all the tricks, he would definitely learn few new tricks.
