Idiom
Idiom Definition
The
term refers to a set expression or a phrase comprising two or more words. An
interesting fact regarding the device is that the expression is not interpreted
literally. The phrase is understood as to mean something quite different from
what individual words of the phrase would imply. Alternatively, it can be said
that the phrase is interpreted in a figurative sense. Further, idioms vary in
different cultures and countries.
Idiom Examples
“Every
cloud has its silver lining but it is sometimes a little difficult to get it to
the mint.”
“American
idioms drive me up the hall!”
“I
worked the graveyard shift with old people, which was really demoralizing,
because the old people didn’t have a chance in hell of ever getting out.”
