Hello dear friends.

I am translating something from Russian to English, and am in a need of idioms that have the same meaning, so that I can choose the most fitting one from them.


For example
He hit the roof / He blew his stack / He flipped his lid / He's fit to be tied / He hit the ceiling / He's hot under the collar / to have one's nose out of joint


I am sure there are such books, that have the similar idioms groups together with their explanation.

Can you please point me to them?? I can't find via Google, i only find the usual "idioms dictionaries."

I would be very grateful for any help. I really need help. :) Thank you.

That totally solved my problem, thank you so much.
That was actually what i was looking for - something online and a quick way to find the synonyms of known idioms.

A very good dictionary:)
