I see, we have to make some numbers up to counter yours.
No, not interested.
Maybe you should Google "idiom" again.
Here let me help:
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/idiom
1. A speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements, as in keep tabs on.
2. The specific grammatical, syntactic, and structural character of a given language.
3. Regional speech or dialect.
4. A specialized vocabulary used by a group of people; jargon: legal idiom.
5. A style of artistic expression characteristic of a particular individual, school, period, or medium: the idiom of the French impressionists; the punk rock idiom.
The only thing that's cleared up here are any lingering doubts a visitor might have as to just how much of a half wit you are.
