Learn English as a Second Language without Bending Over Backwards

Idiom for the Day

……bend over backwards...……

If you bend over backwards, you could get a pain in the back. But if you bend over backwards figuratively, you make a super effort to help someone. Each person has probably bent over backwards for a friend or family member when they needed help. When you bend over backwards, you usually help someone greatly.

Example: My mother bends over backward for all of her children.
