Here are 10 must-know English expressions and their meanings
1. Best thing since sliced bread
To be fair, this is not necessarily an expression that is used very often, but it has all the more impact when it is used. This “title” should only be awarded to great ideas or innovations, preferably ones that are more genius than the invention of pre-sliced bread. I for one am not too sure what's so great about sliced bread. It's not that difficult to cut up bread, and an unsliced loaf stays fresh for an extra day or two...
2. Challenge accepted
This expression has gained popularity thanks to Neil Patrick Harris’ constant use as Barney Stinson in the TV show "How I Met Your Mother".
3. Cross that bridge when you come to it
This useful expression is much loved by procrastinators because it is a convenient way to delay or avoid facing a problem! If someone points out a potential future problem, you can simply dismiss them by saying "we'll cross that bridge when we come to it";
4. Don't put all your eggs in one basket
Got a friend who thinks he’s a budding novelist and is thinking about quitting his day job to write full-time so that he can finish the “novel of the century”? You might want to tell him not to “put all of his eggs in one basket”.
5. Dutch courage
"Dutch courage" is really more of a euphemism for drunken bravery. If you're facing an uncomfortable task you think can only be handled with "Dutch courage" it means you'd rather be drunk (or at least a tiny bit tipsy) while performing said task.

6. In the heat of the moment
Have you ever heard anyone say something happened "in the heat of the moment" and wondered what the temperature had to do with any of it? This expression is used to explain that a decision or action was taken in anger or passion and that, in hindsight, it may not have been the most logical idea or the best choice.
7. Keep something at bay
This English expression can be used if you're having a glass of germ-killing whisky or pre-emptive cold and flu medication when you feel a cold coming your way - you'd be trying to keep your cold at bay! And if you end up feeling better and having a few more tumblers of whisky,
8. Make a long story short
We all know someone who loves to ramble. They are trying to make a point but instead they:
diverge from the point,
embellish the story with too much detail,
and therefore don’t get to said point.
Sometimes they might realise what they're doing and quickly interrupt the flow of their babbling by using the expression "to make a long story short".
9. Steal someone's thunder
This English expression is a bit difficult to explain, so let's try with an example: maybe you have some news that you’re super excited to tell people. If someone else announced their news before yours, they would be stealing your thunder.
10. Your guess is as good as mine
A good expression to finish off this list! If someone asks you a question you can't answer but don't want to say something silly like "I don't know", say this instead: "Your guess is as good as mine". It makes you feel better because you don't have to admit to not knowing the correct answer
