The idiom, cost am ARM and a LEG, that you came across in the news, simply means to be extremely expensive. i hope you will get it. I am the one who likes learn idioms and phrasal verbs. i think we can discuss together about those things.

A similar idiom is to 'pay through the nose', which means you have to pay a price you think is excessively high.  |

Hey Denith!! I think you can check it out in the fantastic website Google. Just typing the word idiom or phrasal verb, you can find millions of millions idiom words. After you find, you can print it, it pays less. You know why I comment you this thing? Cos I wan you save much money for paying my debt!!  Have fun~!! Kimlong |
