An idiom is a phrase that appears to make sense, but actually has another meaning. If the sentence makes sense, but seems to mean something besides what it looks like, then it is an idiom. "Frank kicked the bucket" makes perfect sense, and when you realize that it means "Frank died," you have two different meanings.
