Recommendations
I recommend , if someone were to conduct a survey along the lines of mine, changing the idioms that were asked about. The idioms i chose were good but there weren't very many of them and I would like to know if there are other idioms that people know of and use. I would also like to know what peoples favorite idioms are. I found out that "close but no cigar" and "cat got your tongue?" were some favorite but most people said that they either didn't have a favorite or didn't know which to choose.
Conclusions
My data told me that most people know what it mean to be down in the dumps but the other idioms I chose were not as well known. Only one person out of 18 knew what "in the pink" means. No one knew what the definition of "painting the town red" was and three out of 18 could define "sea legs". I also found out that more people than not do not have a favorite idiom and do not use them often.
