5. So…… what did that mean??????

6. What if Addison and Alanna show you some of them in a way that you can understand much easier? AHHHHHHH!!!

7. Well let’s get started…..

9. Well….. It doesn’t REALLY mean to DRIVE someone UP A WALL…. It means to irritate or annoy someone very much It means to irritate or annoy someone very much

10. Pulling Your Leg!

11. This DOES NOT really mean pulling someone’s leg off. It means tricking someone as a joke.

12. From Rags……………

13. … To Riches!!!!!!

15. Put a sock in it!!!!!!!!!!!

16. To tell a noisy person or a group to be quiet.

18. Well …. Getting ‘a taste of your own medicine’ means that something happens to you, or is done to you, that you have done to someone else. Kind of like TIT for TAT ….AND…. Medicine often tastes bad! YUK!
