Hi Veron,

I do not know other meaning of COLD TURKEY. There might be other meanings, too. Why do you ask? Have you heard about other meaning than than one I gave?

Hi Mad-ox. What a unique job man. This my idiom:

a barking dog never bites

Someone who makes threats all the time, seldom carries out the threats.
Source: Bertram, Anne (Bowl of Cherries)

[blouen]

Some barking dogs do bite, you know.

I´d rather say it as : Barking dogs seldom bite

[Mad-ox]

be bitten by the bug= have a sudden strong interest in or enthusiasm for something

eg.
My father was never really interested in going abroad until she went to America last year. Now he's been bitten by the bug and hates staying at home.

be bitten by the bug:
