Idiom Focus: Animal Idioms 16

Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.

horse around:    rough or noisy play

Example:  

The lifeguard kicked out the boys who were horsing around on the diving board.

horse of a different color:    something totally separate and different

Example:  

You’re planning on going to State U. instead of Harvard?  That’s really a horse of a different color.
