Idiom
Informal

to intentionally ignore unpleasant facts about a situation and hope that the situation improves by doing so

What is the origin of the idiom "bury one's head in the sand" and when to use it?

The idiom "bury one's head in the sand" is often associated with the myth that ostriches bury their heads in the sand when they are confronted with danger. This, however, is not true; ostriches do not exhibit this behavior. The idiom likely originated from this misconception and has been used metaphorically to describe people who ignore or deny problems, unpleasant facts, or dangers instead of confronting them. This expression is used to criticize individuals or groups who refuse to acknowledge or address issues, challenges, or threats that are apparent to others. It implies a willful act of avoiding reality or pretending that problems do not exist. The idiom often carries a negative connotation, suggesting that such avoidance can lead to negative consequences or exacerbate existing problems.

Idiom

What is the origin of the idiom "turn a blind eye" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "turn a blind eye" can be traced back to the famous British Admiral Horatio Nelson. According to a widely accepted account, during the Battle of Copenhagen in 1801, Nelson's superior, Admiral Sir Hyde Parker, signaled for him to withdraw from the battle. However, Nelson, who had only one eye due to an earlier injury, held his telescope to his blind eye and famously said, "I really do not see the signal." He went on to achieve victory in the battle. This incident gave rise to the expression "to turn a blind eye," which means to deliberately ignore or overlook something. This expression is used to describe the act of ignoring or deliberately not noticing something, especially when it involves wrongdoing, rule-breaking, or misconduct. It implies a willful decision not to take action or intervene in a situation where one should.
