Idioms are words or phrases that typically have a figurative, non-literal meaning. Because idioms don't always make sense literally, their usage and meaning can be tricky to grasp.

For example, to "bring home the bacon" means to earn the money that is needed for the whole family to live on. To "walk on eggshells" means to have to act very sensitively in order to avoid offending someone. Both idioms do not have literal meanings.
