Re: English Idioms 4
That's right Muriel.
In my dictionary, I can read that there's a possible preposition which is "to".
"By" is, of course, always possible but in the passive mode.

Hi Gérard
If we answer "not so great !" People ask more questions don't they? It's no longer a formal"how are you !"

Remember my advice: don't learn by heart! Take care not to get bored!
Read the items of the list.
Just let the music enter your brain.
The important expressions will be met frequently, hence will be read several times
and will be finally remembered without huge boring effort.

Hi Gérard Everyone
No,I didn't know that to put down meant to insult. I only knew that to put down a pet meant to put it down to sleep.

"Put down = insult" is only one example
The meaning you're pointing out is one among oodles.
My dictionary has got a full page of meanings: 14 different meanings.
For each meaning, there's a wide range of nuances.
On Word Reference, posters must absolutely describe their context before we accept to help them.
No, the main meaning of "to put down" is not "to insult".
Let's say that one meaning lies around: to humiliate... for a vet, it can go far: to have a dog put down means to kill him y injection.

> mucking round
mucking around
This list concerns differences between Am and Br English, and we cannot consider the meaning of each item.
"Boue" is not the only translation/meaning for "muck"=> saletés, boue, fumier, crotte (de chat, de chien), fiente (d'oiseau)... bêtises (livre, film), saletés (nourriture)...
to muck about, to muck around:
» muck about (fool about) faire l'imbécile; (potter about) traîner; to muck about with traficoter [appliance]; toucher à [object];
» muck [sb] about se ficher de.
