Hi, I am learning English.
Can you please tell me some of the most common English idioms, that every native speaker should know. The more the better, and please explain what they mean if you can.
Thank you very much! :)

Your question "boggles the mind" because there are "thousands upon thousands" of idioms in English. Could you give some examples of the type of thing you are looking for?

to kick the bucket = to die
a steal = something that costs much less than it is really worth
about time = well beyond the time period when something should have been done
all out = complete
ball-park figure = rough estimate
close call = to barely escape from danger
everything but the kitchen sink = almost everything one can think of
