Idioms: cut the mustard
2008-02-05 14:09:00 A great quote in some recent copy:"Our economic regeneration team has been sitting down and figuring out how to get this application to cut mustard"Well, you could always laminate the application form – which would make it sturdier and possibly also mustard-proof. Or else you could print the application directly on to a knife or other cutting tool.Seriously, all it took was for the idiom to be used slightly unusually ('cut mustard' instead of 'cut the mustard') and on first glance I read it literally rather than idiomatically. That's the danger of idioms – apart from totally confusing non-native speakers, of course.And if you are interested in the origins of this idiom, the World Wide Words page on 'cut the mustard' is a good place to start – or else check out Yahoo! Answers for some alternative explanations.

Collocations e idioms: qual a diferença?
2007-11-26 12:00:00 Perguntaram-me dia destes qual a diferença entre collocations e idioms. Vamos dar uma rápida olhada nisto então. Lembre-se que a explicação aqui é a mais simples possível. Não pretendo entrar a fundo na questão de idiomaticidades e coisas assim.Idioms são expressões idiomáticas. Ou seja, expressões que traduzidas ao pé da letra não fazem o menor sentido, porém as compreendemos muito bem. É o caso da expressão "ao pé da letra" utilizada no início deste parágrafo. Afinal, letra não tem pé. Ou será que tem?Outros exemplos de expressões idiomáticas: "bater as botas" (morrer, falecer); "passar a perna em alguém" (enganar, ludibriar); "ver o sol nascer quadrado" (ser/estar preso, ir para a cadeira); "de cabo a rabo" (por completo); etc.Por outro lado, collocations são diferentes. Tratam-se de combinações de palavras comumente usadas em uma língua. Para exemplificar, responda à seguinte pergunta: o que você faz com um livro?Bem, você pode ler, escrever, comprar, dar, vender, emprestar, peg...
