Idiom- A group of words established by usage as having a mean not deducible from those of the individual words (e.g. It's raing cats and Dogs!)
There is one explicit idiom - Kick the Bucket- which follows "Laughing Stock"- it is not suitable for children- there is an audible warning before that piece begins.
We hear uncommon or old expressions, many of them idioms, all the time in everyday language. Their origins can often be very interesting- so I wanted to share some of them with you.
