Also pretty weird are a lot of American-based phrases. Was watching some random show on it and I realized just how many weird ones we have, and how incredibly obscure their meaning can be unless you're already used to hearing and using them.
I'm sure there's phrases from other languages/cultures that would be just as confusing to me too, but it was kind of an amusing eye opener nonetheless.
Hence its weirdness.
