"Don't cry over spilt milk"-why milk?why not water or any other liquid that can be spilt.
"Its raining cats and dogs"-why cats and dogs?why not elephants and rats.
"Clear as daylight"-why daylight,why not water.water is also clear.
"Straight from the horses mouth"-why the 'horse',why not a 'lion'
"Speak of the devil"-why the 'devil'
