  • Earlier we explained the origin of "Break a Leg" and "It's Raining Cats & Dogs" and called it proverbs. Turns out they are idioms! Here's the difference.

    Also true proverbs and adages give you advice for life, while other types sayings or "expressions" don't. For example "It's raining cat's and dog's" doesn't give advice for life, it only tells you what's happening now. Famous adages like "A Stitch in Time Saves Nine" and "Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder" tell you something for life, and are true adages. I collect true adages and have many.

      Proverbs could also be meant literally ,but idioms cant .E.G: it could actually never rain cats and dogs but it can rain heavily, meanwhile, haste makes waste can be meant literally as bein too fast in something could lead in waste or loss.(hope it helps!!1!)
