So when people describe those who are very cool and unfriendly, they will call them “cool fish”. Do you think it’s possible to have a head in clouds Of course not! When someone is daydreaming for something instead of taking action, we may say “He has his head in the clouds.” Bees are always busy working hard. To describe people who work without stopping, you can say they are as busy as bees. It’s uncomfortable to see a black sheep among a group of white sheep. If a person does harm to his group or team, he may be called “a black sheep”. Lambs are gentle little sheep. They are easy to keep and hardly hurt humans. If a person who seldom gets angry with others, you can say he/she is as gentle as a lamb. Mr. Black drank like a fish at dinner just now. He must not be allowed to drive or he will break the law.

So when accidents happen, she can always keep calm. You don’t know what will happen if you wake up a sleeping dog in the street, so it would be much smarter to let sleeping dogs lie. No matter how difficult the job is, one always makes 100% effort to make his dream come true. When we say “Come rain or shine”, it means no matter what happens, something is sure to take place. People want to do something impossible or they want to get something but with no actions. We will say they cry for the moon. What if a person has two left feet He can’t walk well! So if someone doesn’t do well in something, we may say “He has two left feet!” If one is sitting on the fence, he can get down from the left side or the right side. So “Sit on the fence” means somebody doesn’t make a clear choice between two sides. Americans usually put peas and carrots together to make the dish beautiful. If two people always get together, we may say they are like peas and carrots. The temperature of the cucumber is always cooler than the temperature outside. So if a person can be very calm when he meets difficulties, we may say he is as cool as a cucumber.
