there is more than one way to skin a cat
There is more than one way to do something! Sidebar: People who don't believe this and are so rigid in arguing, like the "correct" way to fold towels, are a pet peeve of mine! |

There's a lot to be said about both your idiom and the idiom homoe posted.... both idioms present a particular truth, dependent on one's own experience with either idiom.

..... Cuts like a knife .....
While this literary device is not so much an idiom or even a double entendre, it's a simile that gives meaning to hurtful words or actions or even something as simple as very cold wind that cuts right through to the core of your body or heart. Fairly true, I would say.

..... Dream Come True .....
When this skin of thought is expressed, one is saying that some thing they've always dreamt about has come true or that something you have wanted very much has finally come to pass, thus your "dream has come true." (True)

Besides being a 'killer' disco song by Blondie, this turn of thought generally means that one is affected easily by emotion. (True)
