recipe of good relationship Today I found another one interesting idiom: “take it with a pinch of salt”. As I understand it means “don’t completely believe what you told”. I remembered in Russia there are idioms with a word “salt” too. We say: “ate a pound of salt together”. What does it mean? It’s an interesting story. It came to us from old times. It was said to the newlyweds. It means that a mutual understanding and full trust (I think and love too) will appear only when passed a long time. Approximately as much as would be enough to eat a pound of salt together. Oh yeah, it is a lot of time. In our days one pound of salt is sufficed for three divorces :) Today we use this idiom when we talk about good friends. Like: they ate together a pound of salt. It means that they passed through many situations and problems and still real friends. Good friends to each of you!
