What is an idiom? give examples please..?

Question

I want to use this word..

Answer 1

an idiom is a figure of speech that is not meant to be taken literally. its like an exaggeration of something, altho that is also another part of speech, called hyperbole.

examples:

-stop beating around the bush (get straight to the point)

-im so hungry i can eat a horse (im starving)

-im stuck between a rock and a hard place (in the middle of a crisis, cannot decide)

Answer 2

an idiom is a figure of speech that is not meant to be taken literally

im so hungry that I could eat a horse/cow.

Answer 3

Right, a figure of speech that does not mean what the word means.

Ace= No 1 in cards.  You Aced that test, = Very good.  You are an ace= the best.  All right = reluctant agreement,  "All right, I'll Come!" All right= so-so " The show was all right".
