Idiom:Cost an arm and a leg.

By Aleaha

Meaning:

Have you ever heard your mum or your grandma say ‘oh the hair dressers cost an arm and a leg these days’ but you don't know what they mean well thats why im here to help. So you don't know what they mean well they are actually meaning ‘oh the hair dressers are really expensive these days’ because limbs like arms and legs are usually really really expensive to replace.

Origin:

The idiom was invented after WW1 when soldiers lost limbs such as arms and legs and it was a big price to pay for both families and soldiers.
