  • 271 - 🔎 Idioms: To bend over backwards

    The idiom "to bend over backwards" means to make a great effort to accommodate someone or to do something, often going to extreme lengths or sacrificing one's own comfort or well-being. It implies exerting oneself to an extreme degree in order to please or assist someone else. This idiom vividly illustrates the notion of contorting or straining oneself as if physically bending backwards, emphasizing the difficulty or effort involved in the action.

  • 269 - 🔎 Idioms: Achilles heel

    "Achilles' heel" is an idiom that comes from Greek mythology, specifically from the story of Achilles, a legendary Greek hero of the Trojan War. According to the myth, Achilles was invulnerable except for his heel, which his mother, Thetis, had failed to dip in the River Styx when she held him as a baby. As a result, his heel remained his one weak spot. The term "Achilles' heel" refers to a person's vulnerability or weak point, despite overall strength or invincibility. It's often used metaphorically to describe any weakness that could potentially lead to downfall or failure, whether in an individual, a system, or an organization.
