Where will you see or hear idioms?

You will see and hear idioms in all sorts of speaking and writing. They are particularly common in everyday conversation and in popular journalism. For example, they are often found in magazine horoscopes, e.g. You´ll spend much of this week licking your wounds (trying to recover form bad experience) or in problem pages, e.g. Do you think my relationship has run its curse? (come to a natural end) However, idioms are also used in more formal contexts , such as lectures, academic essays and business reports, e.g.  It is hoped the regulations will open the door to better management.
