English is an expressive language.  In addition to descriptive adjectives and adverbs, particular phrases and figures of speech, like idioms, allow for this.  An idiom is a phrase that, as a whole, expresses a meaning different than its individual parts.  Another definition of idiom is an expression or phrase that means something different than the actual words that make it up.  One example of an idiom is �under the weather� which means to be sick.  If we look at what each word means by itself, the phrase makes no sense at all! What can it mean, to be beneath the climate?  Visualizing someone lying under the sky or rain doesn�t help to define the idiom, either.  Only an English dictionary like WhiteSmoke�s can tell you what an idiom is, and then what a specific idiom means.
