Yesterday, I took my idiom book unwillingly and sat near my brother that was watching a movie in English language. I was reading the book and suddenly spotted an idiom " Blood is thicker than water " = family loyalties are stronger than other relationships.I just told by myself within such laziness " is it really used in speaking or writing so that I care and learn it ? -.- "
Exactly when I turned the page, some1 in the movie said " Come on ! Blood is thicker than water "
I just gaped at TV..at that time, I remembered last year that I was reading 504 book and saw the word " utensil " = device and furniture in the kitchen... I just wondered the same thing...After 5 mins when I picked an article to read, in the 3rd line it'd been said " .. like utensils and other furniture at home..."
Once, I wrote a writing and used lots of old idioms... My friend said " I'm not sure whether these words are really useful to learn and I don't think they will be used in your speaking or elswhere "
I'm just waiting to tell him " WWWWWWWWWWait and see -.- "

No one told me that I've got grammatical mistake in the title !
I said '' words '' so the pronoun is '' they '' not '' it ''

@ Noaslpls:
Ur word jogged my memory the Hitler's qoute which says:
Removing all the useless info and replacing with new and useful one in the brain.
I do agree with him and also u about the pleasure and staisfiction of learning.

Whether we will use them or not, I think the most important is the satisfaction of learning new words, new idioms, new expressions and store them in our mind.
We can learn new words in every page we read, so what if we read a pile of books like you !!
This is the first time I hear this idiom ,so thank you for sharing .
Wait and see ,you will gain what you wish and achieve your goals as long as you continue reading ! Best wishes ,Sniper !
