Hi everyone,Idioms are part and parcel of any language.They lend colour and character to a language, they give it sense and shape. So, since idioms are so important in every language, let's play "Guess the idioms".Q1: What does the idiom "Between the devil and the deep sea" means?Q2: What does the idiom "to nip in the bud" means?

I think that the meanings of the two idioms is the same ,meaning when someone is in two problems and he /she cann't solve them or at leats one of them,we can use these idioms.
Hi, Marianna! You are right as to the first idiom. The second one means:
to prevent a small problem from getting worse by stopping it soon after it starts
Try to guess what the idioms posted by me mean.
