English idioms Some of my favourite english idioms that I never get to use: ------------------------------------------ day in and day out / week in and week out - doing an activity every week, week after week; usually implies loyalty and a sense of hardship related to it My training took a long time; I had to train week in and week out for six months. ------------------------------------------ to throw spaghetti on the wall - a trial and error method/ to try something to see if it works or not We never know the results of the trade before it happens so it feels like throwing spaghetti against the wall. ----------------------------------------- nip it in the bud (idiom) - to end something before it develops into something larger Renting a car was too expensive, so the whole idea was nipped in the bud.
