 Re: Animal idioms
hi,
water off a duck's back = This expression can be used to describe a situation where something has no effect on a person. It is usually used when criticism or harsh comments have no effect on someone. It is often used with the word "like".
eg.
I've warned her about the dangers of smoking thousands of times, but it's like water off a duck's back. ( It has no effect on her.)
