(10 water idioms for difficult situations)

 

 

In English there are a number of idioms using the word water. As I hope you know, water's very important: we use it for drinking, washing and splashing about in. Most importantly, it's used to make the ice which I put in my favourite drink - whiskey. On the other hand, water's  also dangerous: for example, we're careful to watch young children when they play near rivers or the sea and, of course, giant  killer-sharks, like Jaws, live in water! Water idioms often highlight the dangerous or difficult side of our watery friend. Here are 10 water idioms which can help you describe difficult situations:
