Ever wonder what’s up with red herrings, wild goose chases, and lame ducks? American Idioms is a dictionary with pithy definitions and examples of use for these and hundreds of other common American English idioms.

In American Idioms, you can easily search for idioms using keywords in a flexible format, like "duck," "lame," "lame duck," "duck lame", or even partial words like “lam duc". You can add personal notes to any idiom and mark your favorite idioms for inclusion in a separate list.

For many idioms, you will learn about their origins. For example, “wild goose chase” alludes to an historical form of horse racing, where a group of riders had to follow a lead rider in a formation similar to that of flying geese.

American Idioms grew out of the author’s years-long fascination with the prevalence of idioms in American English and his observations as a teacher of some of the challenges idioms pose to non-native speakers of English, even those who’ve mastered English grammar and vocabulary.

American Idioms is free with no ads, in-app purchases, or pro upgrade. It is a straightforward, no-muss-no-fuss app offered for your entertainment and, hopefully, your edification.

The content of American Idioms is updated on an irregular basis with new idioms and additional information about existing idioms. Updates are applied automatically to the app with no user intervention required.
