An idiom is a phrase that has a different meaning than the literal or standard definitions of the words. The English language has thousands of idioms, and the easiest way to learn the meaning of a particular idiom is to type the phrase into your browser's search bar along with the word's meaning (e.g., cat's meow meaning).
