We're back to explore some more stories behind common proverbs, idioms and sayings! There are so many interesting sayings out there that I wished to include from last week that I had to make a follow up. Even still, there’s plenty more in the tank. If you can think of interesting an unusual saying you’d like to see investigated, write it down below in the comments.

We'll be looking at:
Going cold turkey
Give a man a fish...
Raining cats and dogs
With great power comes great responsibility
Go berzerk
Run amok
Avoid like the plague
Out of the frying pan, into the fire

I had lots of fun making this, I hope you enjoyed watching this one. I'm settling into a routine, so hopefully more regular videos down the pipeline. Take care all.

H.
