This is in response to Abby's request on facebook.
Cost an arm and a leg
Meaning: Something is really expensive!
Example:- Abby: I want to buy a house in Hawaii...
- Carl: Ok! First you need about $300,000! (about 8,785,500 TWD)
- Abby: Oh no!!! It will cost an arm and a leg to buy a house in Hawaii!!!
Origin: After a war many soldiers would come home missing arms or legs. Many people would say that the price of war cost many people their arms or legs.

PRICE OF WAR??
Great question! Think of it like this: How much does a war cost? What is the price of a war? It costs a lot of money for guns, airplanes, boats, and etc. War is very expensive! (Did that help?)
