When you cannot understand an idiom like “knock yourself out ” or “make waves”, you can miss the point of a story. Some idioms are nice and colourful; others are difficult to understand. Don't underestimate idioms though - so get used to them. If you learn to use idioms, your English will be much more colorful and interesting. So enjoy learning - and using - colourful English idioms.
