  8. Idiom Write this definition: Idiom – a common expression used by a group of people to refer to something other than its literal meaning Examples: Don’t add fuel to the fire. He’s my own flesh and blood.

  9. Idiom Many idioms are very old and were once more literal in meaning. Close, but no cigar not quite good enough Cigars used to be given as prizes in contests at fairs and carnivals.
