-

-
Idiom

Idiosyncrasy
That's Correct!
It's Wrong!
The correct answer is "Idiom". An idiom is a phrase or expression that doesn't mean exactly what the words themselves suggest. It may have a figurative or non-literal meaning that is known only to native speakers of a particular language. Idioms are a common feature of everyday language and can be both amusing and difficult to interpret for non-native speakers.
