English has some lovely, slightly old-fashioned sayings. Though young people might not use them as much as the older generation, most young Brits certainly understand them. And if you use them, you’ll endear yourself to anyone who’s listening. And you’ll certainly sound like you know English very well.
5. There’s no accounting for taste
This phrase means that everyone is different. But the speaker of this phrase disapproves of someone’s choices. It means that it is sometimes hard to explain why someone likes what they do.
‘Peter’s new boyfriend is so lazy – I can’t believe Peter’s still with him.’
‘Well, there’s no accounting for taste.’
