An idiom is a commonly used expression or a phrase that means something different from what it appears to mean. Copyright © 2011 Kelly Mott

It’s important to note that an idiom is not meant to be taken literal. Copyright © 2011 Kelly Mott

This means that an idiom is not taken at it’s word. It has a different meaning than what you read on the surface. Copyright © 2011 Kelly Mott
