Don't let the ____ out of the bag.
93% of Americans can't complete these common English phrases. Idioms are those phrases that most languages have that make sense to a native speaker because you've just always heard them used. But if you think about them literally, they are BAFFLING. Like how can something be "easy as pie"? Pie isn't THAT easy to make. Pie crust seems simple, sure - it's just flour and some kind of fat (usually shortening, butter or lard) and maybe some cold water. But it's SO easy to mess up pie crust. So where did that phrase even come from?
