| Newbie here. What an excellent forum! I have a question please: do you guys know of a good online dictionary for idioms? For example, I was looking for 'keeping us on our toes' and tried cambridge d. of idioms, but it failed to give me an entry. btw, I know now its meaing, 'requiring us to be alert and attentive', which I found when I used google search, not a dictionary...so.. Is there a better one that uses a smart search to look up any, or at least most, idioms? Many thanks in advance, and greetings from Egypt! Last edited by sallam; 09-Dec-2004 at 12:55. |

I don't know a great deal about other online idiom dictionaries, but we have one here at UsingEnglish.com! See: http://www.usingenglish.com/reference/idioms/. It's very new and still being developed, but you might be able to find what you're looking for there. Regards, Red5 PS - If you have any suggestions for additions to our idiom dictionary, please feel free to post them in our Comments & Suggestions forum. |

| I think they were looking for recommendations from people who know (ie: our members) |

| You should check Word Magic's online dictionary at English Spanish Bilingual Dictionary with Translations, Synonyms and Definitions - Word Magic Software Although it is for English and Spanish, it has the most complete list of idioms I've found in the internet. |
