Bury my father and turn the other cheek
#4
drmlanc Wrote:Can someone comment on these? Are they idioms? I heard "bury my father" actually means something more like palliative care

and

"turn the other cheek" - does it really mean, "allow the guy to kick the crap out of you?"

IIRC Lamsa in his book of idioms says that to "bury my father" means to "look after my father until he dies"
