Illustrate an idiom
What is an idiom?
Miriam Webster:
1. an expression in the usage of a language that is peculiar to itself either in having a meaning that cannot be derived from the conjoined meanings of its elements (such as up in the air for "undecided") or in its grammatically atypical use of words (such as give way)
2 a: the language peculiar to a people or to a district, community, or class : DIALECT
b: the syntactical, grammatical, or structural form peculiar to a language
An idiom is a commonly used expression whose meaning does not relate to the literal meaning of its words.
Idioms are classified as figurative language, which is the use of words in an unusual or imaginative manner.
