IDIOMS ON WATER

I didn’t know that I was getting into hot water while I declined her chat call.  She got angry and pointed me out that how out of etiquette my attitude was.  She also said though blood is thicker than water, but friendship is also important and it is sometimes proved not blown out of water.  I was really dead in the water when tried to pacify her.  It was like dipping a toe into the water.  My carelessness really put me in a position like fish out of water, feeling hard even to breathe.  I was not sure that how long I will be able to keep my head above the water.  I then chatted with her and then she realized that how still water runs deep.

1. get into hot water (to be in or get into trouble)

2. blood is thicker than water (family relationships are stronger than any others
3. blow out of the water
(to show that somebody/something is not good by doing something)

4. dead in the water
(a person or plan that is dead in the water has failed).

5. dip a toe in/into the water (to start doing something very carefully)

6. a fish out of water
(a person who feels uncomfortable or awkward because he or she is in surroundings that are not familiar)
7. keep your head above water
 (to deal with a difficult situation.)

8. still waters run deep (a person who seems to be quiet or shy).

  • Thanks, Mishaikh. That's an interesting lesson. 

    A few of these idioms, we also know in German language. I think they are also known in other languages.
