An idiom is a phrase or expression that has a figurative meaning different from the literal meaning of the words used. Idioms are often culturally specific and can be confusing for non-native speakers to understand. Example: "It's raining cats and dogs" means it is raining heavily, not that actual cats and dogs are falling from the sky.
