Colloquialisms can be a colorful and expressive method of written and verbal communication. Colloquialisms can be regional in nature. They typically convey a thought, message or make a point in a context that is familiar to the speaker and hopefully, also to the listener. For example, "that dog won't hunt" is a colloquialism that means that what is being said or done won't work out as hoped or planned or is not believed (to be true).
