An idiom is a phrase or expression that typically presents a figurative, non-literal meaning attached to the phrase; but some phrases become figurative idioms while retaining the literal meaning of the phrase. Categorized as formulaic language, an idiom's figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning. These are some examples, A piece of cake. Let the cat out of the bag. Judge a book by its cover. Break a leg. Under the weather.
