TO HAVE A FIELD DAY

IN SPAIN WE HAVE A SIMILAR ONE: "HACER EL AGOSTO". IMAGINE, THAT YOU ARE A FLAG SELLER, UNFORTUNATELLY WITH THE ECONOMICAL CRISIS YOUR BUSINESS HAS MANY PROBLEMS TO SURVIVE, BUT, SUDDENLY, LA ROJA, THE SPANISH FOOTBALL SELECTION, WINS THE CHAMPIONSHIP. NOW, EVERYONE WANTS ONE FLAG AND YOU STAR SELLING THEM... YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY.


BY THE WAY, CONGRATULATIONS!

TO BE SKINT

WHEN YOU HAVE NO MONEY YOU ARE SKINT.

TO RUN AMOK VS TO GO BERSERK

TO RUN AMOK: WHEN YOU GET CRAZY, WHEN THE SITUATION IS TOO MUCH FOR YOU, AND "SE TE CRUZAN LOS CABLES":

TO GO BERSERK:WHEN YOU GET VERY VERY ANGRY BUT YOU CAN HARDLY STILL  MANAGE THE SITUATION YOU GO BERSERK

LIGHTENING DOESN'T STRIKE TWICE.

WHEN YOU HAVE A PROBLEM, AN ACCIDENT OR JUST A VERY BAD SITUATION AND THEN YOU HAVE TO FACE AGAIN THAT SITUATION, YOU CAN LISTEN THIS IDIOM. ITS MEANING IS THAT: DON'T WORRY, IT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN THAT BAD SITUATION AGAIN.

TO HAVE GOT THE GREEN

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AND YOU HAVE GOT THE GREEN MEANS THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE DRIVING. sO WHEN YOU ASK FOR PERMISSION AND YOU ARE GIVEN THE GREEN, MEANS THAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DO IT.

TO BE CAUGHT RED-HANDED

There is a murder, who could the murderer be? In Spanish threre is a similar expresión who answer this questions: "EL QUE TENGA LAS MANOS ROJAS". The translation means: The one whose hands are red. That expresion is for children because if they are guilty they would look their hands to know if they are red or not, or they would try to hide them.
Maybe, red colour could have the blood connotation, thats the reason of the chosen photograph.

DON'T PUT OFF TILL TOMORROW WHAT YOU CAN DO TODAY

It's better if you try doing the things you have to do instead of postponing them.
I think that the idioms talks about hard things, doing the ironing... and about relaxing things too. Stop the dayily rutine and live your life.

A PENNY SAVED IS A PENNY EARNED

WE HAVE TO SAVE MONEY BUT I THINK THAT THE IDIOM WANTS TO EXPRESS THAT MANY LITTLES MAKE A BIG ONE. tHAT IF WE DO THE BIG THINGS STEP BY STEP WE WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL.

FOOL ME ONE, SHAME ON YOU. fOOL ME TWICE, SHAME ON ME.

YOU ARE NOT GILTY WHEN SOMEONE FOOLS YOU FOR FISRT TIME, BUT IF YOU TRUST HIM AGAIN, AND YOU HAVE A NEW PROBLEM AGAIN, THE SHAME IS FOR YOU, BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T LEARN THE LESSON.

TO BE GREEN WITH ENVY

In Spanish the meaning is similar: Morirse de la envidia.
But the colour is not named.
