Painting With Words
An idiom is a phrase that has a figurative meaning that cannot be understood from the literal meaning of the individual words. In other words, the meaning of the idiom as a whole is different from the meaning of the separate words put together.
Here are 4 examples of idioms:
- See eye to eye: This idiom means to agree completely. Even though you don't literally see eye to eye with someone, the phrase suggests that you understand each other perfectly.
- Kick the bucket: This idiom is a more colorful way to say someone has died. You wouldn't actually kick a bucket to indicate death!
- A piece of cake: This idiom means something is very easy. A cake might not be easy to bake, but completing a task described as "a piece of cake" would be effortless.
