M Roine – (you can’t make an omelette without breaking a few eggs) September 5, 2020
You can’t feed a people without hurting animals … but that doesn’t make it right. It never makes it right because what it is in itself and because it is a step towards the destruction of the planet. People may laugh at me because of what I believe in but I know in my heart that the truth has always been there and has been offered to me. In this context I wish to be an advocate of animal rights.

Mr truth – (pain in the neck) September 3, 2020
I think this phrase is similar to something that bugs you. So the origin of this phrase comes from the fact that bugs often bite the back of a person’s neck. I looked up the origin of this phrase and i cannot believe that there is nothing on the www with this origin yet.

At about 1040 BC King Saul “blew the trumpet throughout the land” 1 Samuel 13:3 NASB
He was proclaiming his victory over the Philistines when in fact it was his son Jonathan vs.2 who smote them.

I’m from Southern, WV. My grandfather always told me when the sun is out and it’s raining, “The devil was beating his wife!”. He grew up in VA.

You could add more examples for spill the beans idiom, there is only 1 example .
And I think it would be good if you add voice also like Google, you could someone reading out the important parts of the idiom. Overall it is an amazing website.
Good job keep it up.

Greg Stone – (think outside the box) August 31, 2020
There’s a puzzle with 9 dots in a square or “box” pattern. Puzzle solvers are asked to “set down pen(cil) and draw exactly 4 straight lines through all 9 dots,” it is only possible if one draws a big arrow with the corners of the triangle at the head “outside the box”.
