a new expression in english that just entered in endlish ..
Do a Zidan on sb .
do you remember the final football match on 2006 betwin italy and french ?
on that game zeynoddin zidan hit a player with his head .
and now it's become an expression that means the act of hitting sb like that ...
Example :
I dont wana watch your face ! go away or i'll do a zidan on you !
wow
thats cool man
unfortunately what zidan did was 2 years ago so when we wanna use this term we need to explain who is zidan and what was his action!
wow
thats cool man
unfortunately what zidan did was 2 years ago so when we wanna use this term we need to explain who is zidan and what was his action!
but i think they r using this slang today ...
i know that you mean this expression is now dead ... but i think they still use this .:10:

put the screw on
مجبور كردن كسي با زور و تهديد برايه انجام كاري
bite off more than you can chew
لقمه بزرگتر از دهان برداشتن
cock-and-bull story
چاخان گفتن، خالي بندي
at the end of one's rope
جان كسي به لب رسيدن، كارد به استخوان كسي رسيدن
get the hang of something
قلق چيزي را بدست آوردن،لم كاري را ياد گرفتن
jump out of one's skin
از ترس زهره شدن
HIt below the belt
نامردي كردن، نارو زدن
Keep something under one's hat
رازداري كردن، بروز ندادن
alive and kicking
سر و مر و گنده

I think the phrase "to give up" has this meaning
Hi everyone
I had an examination about idioms on this Saturday , and one of my mistakes was this idiom
"his days are counted"
They put these equivalents as multiple answers

I choose the second one but it was wrong , but individually I think it was correct
Give me five! (mainly American, informal)
something that you say when you want someone to hit your open hand with theirs, in order to greet them or to show how pleased you are. Hi there little buddy, give me five!

Like Toy Soldiers Lyrics
Eminem
I'm supposed to be the soldier who never blows his composure
Even though I hold the weight of the whole world on my shoulders
I am never supposed to show it, my crew ain't supposed to know it
Even if it means goin' toe to toe with a Benzino you it don't matter
I'd never drag them in battles that I can handle unless I absolutely have to

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson looks like the kind of guy who was just born with arms the size of car tires. But of course, like anyone else, he had to work out hard to make his muscles as big as they are. Now it turns out that he had a little help…from steroids.
It’s pretty surprising to hear The Rock admit that he used steroids in the past. A lot of athletes have been getting in trouble recently for taking these drugs to help them build bigger muscles. But The Rock says he tried steroids back in the day. We use this expression to talk about a period in our lives that ended a long time ago. Usually, it’s a time we look back on fondly, like childhood. So by saying he tried steroids back in the day, The Rock is suggesting that he did it many years ago, when he was just a foolish young kid.
Remember, back in the day is a non-specific time. We wouldn’t say, “Back in the day last month I went to a really fun party,” because that refers to a specific event that happened pretty recently. But we can say, “Back in the day, I used to party all the time, but now I prefer to stay home and go to bed early.”
But if you do say that, your friends might wish they had known you back in the day, because you’re so boring now.
