English Speaking Club Friendship Idioms


 Friendship Idioms

 1. Cross someone’s path – unexpectedly meet someone 

1. Cross someone’s path – unexpectedly meet someone 
This phrase originally implied that such a meeting included opposing a person or otherwise causing him trouble, but in the modern sense it doesn’t necessarily mean this. 
For example, Ann swore she would scream if a spider crossed her path. 
2. A friend in need is a friend indeed 
A person who helps when we are not doing well or have problems is a true friend, unlike other people who disappear when difficulties arise. 
For example, Mary has lost her keys, so she has nowhere to stay for the night, but Emma suggested that she stay at her place. A friend in need is a friend indeed. 
3. Make friends 
This phrase cannot be taken literally because to “make” friends is impossible. The phrase means to form a friendship with someone; develop warm feelings for someone. 
For example, I hope John will soon make friends at school because he feels so lonely now. 
4. Build bridges 
This phrase means to improve relations between people who differ significantly from one another for one reason or another, or who don’t like one another (often used with + between). 
For example, A local charity organisation is working to build bridges between different ethnic groups in the city. 
5. Friends in high places. 
This phrase means that one has friends who have important or influential positions. 
For example, Jim is very rude to other workers just because he has some friends in high places. 
7. At odds with someone 
This is said about people who have a conflict or disagreement. The word “odds” means controversy, inequality, or chances. 
For example, The director and the artist were always at odds while making that short film. 

8. Birds of a feather
A well-known expression which refers to people that have something in common, for example, interests, hobbies, or views about life. 
The entire idiom is “Birds of a feather flock together,” which means that people with common interests tend to spend time with one another and become good friends. 
For example, My friend prefers the same clothes as me. Well, birds of a feather flock together. 

9. Man’s best friend 
This phrase refers to a dog, our faithful and loyal four-legged friend. This is, of course, used in the context of a pet, not a botanical name for an animal.
