figurative meaning that has a different meaning from
the literal meaning of its individual elements.
Yes, that’s correct.
In other words, idioms don’t mean exactly
what the words say.

It means it is extremely expensive.

It means making me very annoyed.
> pulling your leg-just joking
>a square peg in a round hole
It means misfit.

way.

Very good. Another idea? Idioms are used or it helps in making language more
colorful.
