First, you need to understand that the point of an idiom is to give a figurative picture to express a thought. For example, instead of saying "he died, " the speaker says, "he kicked the bucket, " or "stay positive" becomes "keep your head up." None of these are meant to be literal that is why language can be difficult for a new speaker to understand. All languages have them but a native speaker may take the saying for granted and not realize the quandary created for the non-native speaker.
