Idioms, Proverbs, Expressions & Slang terms

[pro_translator]

i gathered ton's of idiom's by myself, but when i want to look up for a particular idiom i cannot find it quick. can you give me a hint about categorizing them?
I personally use microsoft excel for deposit my idiom's and vocabularies in it .
which method do you use for a quick access to your idioms?

Let me know when you found a way! Never really tried to do so... Not necessarily...

I started categorizing them from the very first day I started gathering materials and stuff...

Stored them in categorized folders and in different text and PDF files... Just like the Jargon topic...

When looking for some idiom or proverb I just open the related .txt and type the idiom in Persian or English... Always got the result I wanted so far... Never fails...

I actually don't really need them anymore... I mostly remember everything...

No, I am a teenager that goes to Azad University...

Of course a great amount of data I've gathered are useless... I mean maybe one simple proverb is mentioned in 10 different pdf files...

Some pdf files are English-Persian and some other are in English... So one slang can be seen in many of them...

And I should rephrase my sentence: I mostly remember the material I'm currently dealing with or need...

I can't possibly memorize 300 MB of pure data!

There are estimated to be at least 25,000 idiomatic expressions in the English language...

And here's a hint: Forget all your school and college stuff, never go out with your friends and socialize with people, never study anything else, just focus on English...

That's what my teacher said when one of my classmates asked him how he can master the English language at its highest level...

کله گنده - پیشرو در زمینه ی یک چیز خاص



مثلا میگیم " یاهو از شرکتهای کله گنده هست " یعنی ازون دسته چیزایی که کسی نمیتونه باهاشون رقابت کنه.

یا مثلا " فلانی ازون پولدارای کله گنده هستش"

راجع به اولی ، فکر نمیکنم همچین چیزی موجود باشه.
احیانا منظور Play doh نیست ؟ که معنیش میشه همون "خمیر بازی"

دومی هم ، به سلاحی میگن که میتونه تماما حیات رو از روی یک جهان بگیره ( سلاحی برای کشتن تمام موجودات یک سیاره ، مثلا زمین )
