After my first post on Idoms, one of the NL's asked me to come up with some more complex Idioms. So here I am with this 12. 1. To cross the rubicon - to be irreversibly committed; to get to a stage where you cannot go back. 2. Buy a pig in a poke - to buy something without thoroughly examining it. 3. A bolt from the blue - An unexpected occurrence. 4. Care killed the cat - Don't worry and fret yourself to death. 5. To have one's head in the clouds - To live in a dreamland. 6. To leap coals of fire - To return good for evil. 7. Draconian laws - Very severe laws. 8. Hold the baby - Be left to bear the responsibility for something difficult or unpleasant. 9. A new broom - A new man in authority who is certain to change things. 10. A wild goose chase - A search, journey that is certain to fail. 11. Eat one's heart out - Suffer severally because of frustration. 12. That's your funeral - You will be the one who suffers, not anyone else.
