I’ve just listened to two podcast narrated by US coaches. Almost every 5 minutes on both podcasts one of the narrators or guests uses an idiom. Why can’t Americans have a conversation with using idioms?
Enlighten me.

I dunno, big girl's blouse, but after I see a man about a horse I'll get back to you.
I don't know, but this post is as dumb as a post.
Something seems fishy to me.
No need to fed a feed horse.

Go back & listen again. I will bet you a pretty penny that those narrators were dropping way way more than one idiom every 5 minutes.
A bitter pill to sallow is to face the music. Just remember to not to get bent out of shape. If you cut the mustard, good job. But, don't start giving me any crocodile tears on me you couch potato. If I have to give you a cold shoulder, don't think I won't. As my mom always said, bite the bullet. But, I wish you break a leg in your next race. Just remember, don't bite off more than you can chew. However, if you blame me, you are barking up the wrong tree. If you are burning the midnight oil, I wish you luck on that paper you are writing. By the skins of your teeth I believe you'll get that paper done in time. You sir are the pot calling the kettle black. No I am not, you are a piece of cake. Than why are you preaching to the choir? I am just pulling your leg. Well, than you better spill the beans, what is a matter? Nothing, that was just the straw that broke the camel's back. OH? So, you're throwing me under the bus now? No I AM NOT, THROUGH THIN AND THICK I AM HERE FOR YOU. Are you just feeling under the weather? Yes, I have the whole nine yards. You can say that again.

Canadians use idioms at an equal rate. You just don't realize you're doing it.
