When you are upset, you “count to ten” to calm you down. This will prevent you from impulsively, recklessly doing anything you will regret having done later.

It is not an idiom, it is a literal phrase. If you are upset and take the time to count to ten, you will calm down enough to give a balanced response.

Sometimes Catholics say the Our Father (an entire prayer) for the same purpose.

But it’s meant literally.

No, it is not an idiom. It is to be taken literally well almost literally. As the person above me said, it is a common expression used to tell someone to stay calm before he or she flies off the handle. Now that is an idiom. You can’t fly off a handle. That means you get so angry you have no control over what you say or do.

It means calm down,relax,take time to mellow out.An idiom is a phrase that means something other than what is said basically-like kick the bucket-means to die-hang your head-means to be embarrassed or ashamed-into the grove-means you like something alot–that sort of thing.

Do you think that it’s hard, next time try counting to 20 it’s twice as hard.
