Toronto is a multicultural city. I love all the different types of people who live here and the variety they bring. Often, Toronto residents are using English as a second (or third) language. Recently, I heard the following:
"I love chocolate so much. Totally addicted. Like butterflies to a bonfire."
I am pretty sure that they meant, "Like a moth to a flame," an idiom that means to be irresistibly and dangerously attracted to something. But I like the butterfly version, it has beautiful alliteration.
