I don’t think the issue is with English. Lots of these idioms and common phrases and overused phrases exist in other languages and often are translated pretty much with the identical meaning from one language to another. Like catch a bus or take a bath, for example. It’s not that different from other languages. Strange phrases or even overused phrases are not necessarily unique for English
Thanks for this!
