"not my monkeys, not my zoo".............

The origin was Polish I've been told. Basically means not my problem, does not concern me.

"Go Big or Go Home"...........

An expression to encourage the listener to be extravagant, to go all the way, and do whatever you are doing to its fullest - and not flake out.

“Dot the i's and cross the t's.”............

The idiom has since come to mean paying attention to every little detail. In earlier days it was meant to check over any documents carefully before signing them!

Raining cats and dogs.”......

In Norse mythology, the dog is associated with wind and the cat with storms. This expression means it's raining very heavily.

Sounds like a broken record....

Repeating the same things over and over.
