I'd like my dear colleagues to translate these idioms for me
Frankly I know some of them such as I could shop until cows come home= I could shop for a very long time
they get on like a house on fire= they are always having problems and arguments
But I'd like to know the meaning of the following
that boy's eating us out of house and home
the food and drinks are on the house
Andrew's new musical brought the house down
the TV pictures really brought home to me the horrors of the famine
My mum brings home the bacon in our family
