What do you mean by 'idiomatic'? Are you saying that "Wow! She's too beautiful!" means 'not really beautiful'?

I've had my fair share of pressure over the past few fews years , whether it was working in an office where I had to satisfy the client ' s demands or working at a fast food chain where client interaction during rush hour , for instance , was one of the main aspects of the job. Being able to maintain composure is also something that I've learned learnt as a poker player and
