Idioms

I have decided to use an idiom as the base of my story and did some resarch into different idioms that I could use, but this is a very broad list. I refined the list from a collection from the website www.idiomsite.com and copied the definitions also. I will refine this list at a later date when I am looking to start my drafts.

I decided idioms would be a good basis for a plot as they will be easy to construe and won't have to include a detailed storyline. I was aiming for something that didn't need a lot of frames to easily portray the story, but detailed enough that it actually has a plot to work with. I feel a saying/idiom was the best choice as it is a good medium. Whichever I choose will have the content literally portraying the idiom, which is long and blatant enough to be understood, yet short enough to be only a few minutes long. As this will be my first time doing a project like this, I think it best that I start short and simple.
