Idioms are a group of words or phrases that have a well-established and well-known figurative meaning. As a result, these words cannot be taken literally because they would sound farcical. Idioms can also appear grammatically unusual at time. It is usually figurative and is difficult to understand based solely on the words in the phrase. It is usually necessary to have a prior understanding of how it is used. Idioms are essential to the development of language. They function in ways that literal meanings cannot in many cases. We use them all the time, sometimes without even realising that what we're saying is meaningless without the implied and widely accepted meaning. Some food Idioms are, bread and butter meaning, necessities, the main thing bring home the bacon meaning, earn the income butter someone up meaning, be extra nice to someone (usually for selfish reasons) (have one's) cake and eat it too meaning, want more than your fair share or need.
