This expression alludes to the dishonest practice of a merchant substituting a worthless cat for a valuable pig, which is discovered only when the buyer gets home and opens the bag. [Mid-1700s] ⠀ 📌 Explanation در قدیم وقتی مردم می رفتند که خوک بخرند، مغازه دار کلک می زد و گربه به جای خوک در کیسه قرار می داد. وقتی مردم می رفتند و کیسه را باز می کردند راز برملا می شد و می فهمیدند که حقیقت چیست. 🏡 @English_House 🏡

“Hit the nail on the head” is a reference to carpentry and hitting the head of a nail squarely or “true.” A good carpenter can drive a nail with only two or three swings of the hammer, but his success depends on his accuracy. If he didn’t hit the nail squarely on the head every time, and instead hit it sideways, he would be inefficient and a much less successful carpenter. So, a carpenter’s ability to “hit the exact point” is similar to the idiom: To be exactly on point, and correct. 🏡 @English_House 🏡

The expression “like pulling teeth” to describe a difficult task has been in use at least since the 1830s, and may be older. Before modern dentistry, pulling teeth in a literal sense was a long, painful process that involved perseverance and physical strength on the part of the tooth puller, as well as the patient. 🏡 @English_House 🏡

😩 #idiom اصطلاح 👉 “Like pulling teeth,” which means “very difficult.” خیلی سخت (اطلاعات از کسی به دست آوردن) Usage in a movie ("Out of the Furnace"): ⠀ - The problem is that the people up in those hills, they don't cooperate.

🦇 #idiom اصطلاح 👉 “Like a bat out of hell,” which means “moving extremely fast.” مثل فشفشه، مثل برق Usage in a movie ("Erin Brockovich"): ⠀ - ...out of nowhere his Jaguar comes racing around the corner like a bat outta hell. They took some bone from my hip and put it in my neck. I don't have insurance so I'm about 17 thousand dollars in debt right now. Origin: This expression presumably alludes to the rapid darting movement of bats and, Charles Earle Funk theorized, their avoidance of such light as might be cast by the fires of hell.
