Set phrases (don't translate them literally!)

To be in the kitty-corner (to be diagonally opposite)

To have a sweet tooth (to love sweet things)














To be a culture vulture (to be a big fan of anything cultural)



To be a couch potato (to be a very inactive person)




I don't see eye to eye (to have different opinions)

You and I get on like a house on fire (have a very good, enjoyable relationship)






The man/woman after my own heart (someone you admire because they do or think the same as you)




Sometimes it is dangerous to translate literally...
