What do these mean?

You’re preaching to the choir.

That’s water under the bridge.

I’m hungrier than a ***** wolf in heat.

You’re preaching to the choir means “You are giving me your argument but I agree with you.” or “You are telling me something I agree with.” In other words, you are trying to convince me but it is not necessary. It derives from the idea that a preacher does not need to preach to the church choir because if they were already not believers in what he has to say they would not be in the choir. He should preach to people who need his advice and counsel.

Water under the bridge implies that something that has already happened cannot be changed. The water that has gone under the bridge is not going to come back, it is gone. An event that has taken place cannot be changed so there is no point in speculating about it.

A hungry wolf tries to put down as much food as possible in a short time. The term implies that the speaker is really very hungry. A person “wolfing down his food” is stuffing food quickly into his mouth.” However, the “in heat” part is a puzzle to me. I have never heard it said that way. Maybe someone else has an answer to that one.

Preaching to the choir – you’re discussing something to someone who already knows about it.

That’s water under the bridge – Nothing you can do about it anymore.

I’m hungrier than a ***** wolf in heat. – Its either you’re hungry or you’re really horny.

ur preaching to the choir- ur telling someone who is familiar with what u r saying or knows all too well what the issue is

water under the bridge, if the water has flown under it is gone no way to stop it, hence water under the bridge is a problem u cant do anything about because it is past, just have to live with it

the last one is just a metaphor for hungry as a bear etc

just means u r hungry
