English with Mr. Duncan: Talking about Proverbs and Idioms


The pot calling the kettle black.
Don’t beat about the bush.
All that glitters is not gold.
Easier said than done.
Waste not, want not
Look before you leap.
Don’t judge a book by the cover.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Back to the drawing board.
His bark is worse than his bite.
Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched.
Laugh all the way to the bank.
Throw the baby out with the bath water.
There are no flies on him. / There are not flies on her.
A penny saved is a penny gained.
