Idioms are very different from. colloquialisms. Idioms are a figurative form. of language and never mean exactly what they say. A good example to stress this point is the idiom raining cats and dogs, which doesnât mean it is actually raining felines and canines.
In phraseology, idioms are defined as a sub-type of phraseme, the meaning of which is not the regular sum of the meanings of its component parts. John Saeed defines an idiom as collocated words that became affixed to each other until metamorphosing into a fossilised term.
