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”.

I’ve heard that if you put a pin on the ground while the devil is beating his wife, you could hear her crying.
Joel – (love is blind) August 30, 2020
Love is as blind as we see and allow it. It’s always best to communicate with your partner and smooth out any uncertainties which may be kept inside us, only to explode in anger once stirred. Love is also said to be unconditional but it’s really with conditions , undeniably. Love is the greatest human emotion , partially blind and partially conditional.
