Adventure 8

My Dear Detective , I hope everyone still excited to continue revile more mystery in English language.
The next task is on Idiomatic Expression.

Idiomatic Expression 
 - An expression whose meanings cannot be inferred from the meanings of the words that make it  up .but which seems perfectly natural to native speakers of the language. 


 - The sentiments central to these expressions usually exist in some form in every language, but the individual expressions are untranslatable.


- e.g ;  Piece of cake 
             Get lost


Your duty is to find an Idiomatic Expression and Good luck : )
