The English language is said to be one of the most difficult in the world to learn well, but ironically it has rapidly become the international language of commerce, information, and entertainment. People whose first language is not English often find that English has an overwhelmingly large vocabulary, and uses many confusing idioms. (An idiom is a special phrase which expresses an idea very cleverly and effectively -- providing the listener can understand it!) Many English idioms were first used centuries ago, with a very literal meaning. Later, they took on more general meaning, and that process is what turned them into idioms. One example is the title of this article. It suggests, rightly or wrongly, that English-speaking people are fascinated by their feet. |
