    I knew all of them, but a few (like "memory like a sieve", "as a crow flies", "chop and change", "donkey's years", "up in arms") I only remembered passively, the rest I use occasionally, or, well, all the time :D
    But it's a great list, most of those are very common.

    to you because you are more and more beautiful
    and to us so that we can admire you in this unique life of ours!

    I am just a little bit confused about the meaning of " second to none". I would have thought this expression meant " exceptional", and "incomparable" but it seems it means as good as others.

    • @EnglishwithMax

      It sort of depends on who's using it ;-) (there's some subjectivity). Most of the time I'd say it means exceptional or very good.
