Idioms can be wonderful or annoying often depending on if you understand them or not. Some frustrating moments of learning a new language are wondering why words aren't meaning what they usually do—and it turns out to be an idiom that might be hard to look up in a dictionary.
Today I used the phrase "who knows." And, as usual, I wondered if that was just a family or local thing and if people use it. But it turns out it is what I thought it was. Wiktionary has a definition for it.
It’s awesome when one or two words can mean a large amount of words.
