Missing Idiom Contest
The Free Dictionary has the largest collection of English idioms in the world. But we’re always looking for more to add, and we want your help! Every so often we hear from users who have looked up an idiom on The Free Dictionary that it was not found in the database. Maybe it was some expression they heard at work, or some phrase they grew up hearing their grandmother say.
If you know an idiom that isn’t already defined on The Free Dictionary, send it to us below.
