Sometimes words mean exactly what they say. This is called the words’ literal meaning. Sometimes words or phrases have a different meaning from this literal meaning. That’s OK, but it might make you feel muddled. For example, if someone says, “He’s let the cat out of the bag,” they don’t usually mean that someone has literally let a cat escape from a bag. They mean that he has let other people know something that was meant to be kept a secret. If someone says, “She’ll bite your head off,” they don’t mean that the person will literally bite anyone’s head off. What the speaker means is that the person is likely to be so annoyed that she speaks in an angry, “snappy” way. If someone says, “I’ve changed my mind,” they don’t mean that they have got a different brain from the one they had before! [download]
