We have so many idioms in our language. Don't pull my leg...Don't get my goat...Don't pull my goat. These get lost in translation. Visitors to our country can't understand their context, since they aren't met to be taken literally. Imagine a foreigner trying to understand "keep your pants on", or "you're getting my goat".
With a larger non english speaking population, it appears that our use of idioms is decreasing. You don't hear as many as you used to.
Get out of here! Are you kidding me?
