Idioms use language metaphorically rather than literally. If you ‘see red’, it means you are very angry (the metaphorical meaning) not that you look at something or someone and see the colour red (the literal meaning). Idioms are also fixed groups of words so you can't change the wording of an idiom. For example, you can say 'I’m at the end of my tether' to say you have reached the limits of your tolerance but you can't say 'I’m at the end of my rope’. |
