	Jacko  +  2216 Fri, 18 Jul 03 09:33 PM I'll try my shot on this one: Idiom is a group of words that forms a totally different meaning than the words' literal value. For example, the literal value of "better half" is a better 50% of a whole. Its idiomatic counterpart is a spouse. There are other meanings as well, but this is the widely used meaning of Jacko Joined on Fri, Jun 20 2003 Full Member 215 ...Ad Space For Sale... Contact St. Nick for Details Idioms

	Woodward  +  2233 Fri, 18 Jul 03 10:57 PM We don't say half an orange (media naranja) in English. We say...the other half or sometimes.....the better half Pull the wool over someone's eyes = to hide your real intentions or actions from somebody. Don't try and pull the wool over my eyes - I know what you are doing!
