Hi Gérard !
I understand that double-dip is getting money from two different sources. Is it always illegally ?

Muriel,
I didn't know about this meaning of "double-dip".
For me, double-dip was a financial expression expressing a double downward movement such as the diagram of the stock market showing the shape of W

KEEP A STIFF UPPER LIP: remain stoic in the face of trouble; control one's emotions. Washington Times: <<British people are often stereotyped as having a stiff upper lip, able to weather tempests without breaking a sweat. If life hands you lemons, make lemonade — that sort of thing.
So I suppose we shouldn’t be too surprised when the news from London in yesterday’s Telegraph reported: "Elderly man smokes pipe as his car sinks in a lake: Man appeared unconcerned as he awaited rescue from the water.">>
"If life hands you lemons, make lemonade" means if bad things happen, try to find a positive side to them.

Howdy.
I'm posting oodles of pics, here in "English Idoms" or elsewhere.
Sometimes, the postings come again, and again.
Don't learn them by heart, don't be bored learning...
In my mind, learning a language had to be a bit like when a baby learns from their parents.
Don't be bored learning, practice and the things you need, the things that are repeated will be fixed in your mind.
Practice, practice, you will learn without big effort (though efforts will accelerate knowledge).

The adjective "nice" is very loosely used in the English language. you don't need to know a lot of words to appear friendly !

Another idiom with "butterfly": A social butterfly

A social butterfly can fit into any room, be comfortable, make friends, and fly away to the next gathering and repeat the process all over again
