Money is a very important topic. After all, everybody needs money to buy things
English has different expressions that are used to talk about money. Here are 7 of them
Let's get the ball rolling. Idiom number 1. Toss an arm in a leg
If something tosses an arm in a leg, it is extremely expensive
Other variations of this idiom include, toss the bomb, toss the earth, toss the pocket
toss the small fortune. The origin of the phrase may refer to the high cost that some soldiers paid in World
War II when they had their arms and legs amputated. Another theory about the origin of the idiom comes from earlier expressions that refer
to the high cost of something. Here are some examples. I give my right arm to own a horse I shop
He takes an arm in a leg to buy a house in that city. Idiom number 2
Quote a price. To quote a price means to state in advance the price for something
Here are some examples. The mason quoted a price of $500 to fix the roof of my house

type of asset, has traded. Idiom number 3. A dime a dozen
This phrase is used to talk about anything that is common, inexpensive, and easy to get

Idiom number 4. Big bucks. The phrase big bucks means lots of money

commonly exchanged for goods. Here are some examples. The new managing director must be making big bucks after his promotion
