1. "The lion's share": This phrase means the largest or

greatest portion of something. It comes from the
idea that a lion, being a powerful and dominant
animal, would take the biggest portion for itself. For
example, if there are five people sharing a pizza and
one person eats three-quarters of it, you could say
they took the lion's share.
2. "Have butterflies in the stomach": This expression is
used to describe the feeling of nervousness or
excitement in the stomach, often experienced before
a big event or when feeling anxious. It's like having
tiny fluttering butterflies moving around inside you.
3. "Take the bull by the horns": This phrase means to
confront a difficult or challenging situation directly
and with courage. It's like grabbing a bull by its
horns, which requires bravery and taking control of
the situation instead of being afraid or avoiding it.
4. "Take my hat off to": This expression is used to show
respect, admiration, or appreciation for someone's
achievements or actions. It's like figuratively taking
off your hat as a sign of
acknowledging their excellence.
5. "Lose heart": This phrase means to
become discouraged or lose hope in a
particular situation. It's like feeling
disheartened or losing motivation
when facing difficulties or setbacks.
