37 min - It takes an idiom to know one. Nr. 8 - under the hammer/gun/sword
'under the hammer' means you are under pressure in Australia. But it's a 'gun' in the US and a 'sword' in Pakistan. What an interesting cultural difference in the language!!!!
12 min - It takes an idiom to know one. Nr. 7 - you can't have your cake and eat it too
You can't have your cake and eat it too. But John loves cake. Well, it's not as easy as that.
Join us as we try to unravel this idiom.
12 min - It takes an idiom to know one. Nr. 6 - resting on your laurels

7 min - It takes an idiom to know one. Nr. 5 - down to earth
'to be' down to earth.
John gets his royal families mixed up in this one. It's Princess Mary of Denmark that's from Tasmania, and not Princess Catherine (wife of William). You should know better John!
Anyway, have a listen.
