عبير,
it is in Britney Spears's Song (Crazy) she says:

Tell me, you're so into me
That I'm the only one you will see
Tell me I'm not in the blue, oh
That I'm not wastin
My feelins on you
Loving you means so much more
More than anything I ever felt before

That's why I do think it's an american term..

a white lie

MEANING: a harmless lie (told to be polite or to do something not seriously wrong)

EXAMPLE:

I told my boss a white lie and said that I was sick yesterday when actually I wasn’t.

Nawal8q,
everytime you look at me
my heart is jumping
it's easy to see
loving you means so much more
more than any thing i ever felt before
you drive me crazy
i just can't sleep Naim Kishi,

Nawal8q, سنا,
Thank you

It's new information for me *sla

It seems that I should listen to the English songs to be up to date with idioms :mrgreen:

The idiom of today is:
Yellow Pages: a book with yellow pages that gives a list of companies and organizations and their telephone numbers, according to the type of services they offer

A very good example here is the "yellow pages" directory which was published for the middle and the other regions in Syria, and for sure it is free :mrgreen:

Naim Kishi,
This idiom "Yellow pages" reminded me of "The yellow books" which you've talked about in other topic in the translation section, but here ,as we see, in English they use "yellow pages" to refer to sth else

Once in a blue moon,

If something happens once in a blue moon, it happens very rarely indeed.

اقتباس:

Practice makes perfect

Here I am

After I read this thread, I was interested in these idioms, so I tried to learn some of them and deliver them to you through this thread.

Red- handed: means in the very act.

When police catch a criminal in the stage of his\her crime, the say that we caught him\her red-handed with crime. In other words, he\she is guilty.

I kindly hope that you have caught this message through my words.

Best Regards,
Obada
