What is idioms?

Idiom has meant a "manner or way of speaking."

Technically, the term idiom in language education means a word or group of words whose meaning does not match the literal meaning. All slang is idiomatic.

Ex: It's a bomb.
Literal = it is an explosive device.
Idiomatic = it is a failure.

Phrasal verbs are idiomatic, as well. The verb "look into" does not have the meaning of "look into" or "into"

look = see
into = move from outside to inside
look into = investigate

look up, look out, look down on, etc. are also all idioms.
