Explanation:
Idioms were created by Idi (third cave on the left, past the bones of last year's Christmas mammoth). Idi was the very first poet, wordsmith, and singer-songwriter (very much in demand for births, weddings, and funerals - book early to avoid disappointment).
An idiom is a word or, more commonly, a phrase in which the figurative meaning is different than the literal meaning of the grouping of words. ... This idiom has a rather dark origin. It came from a reference to someone hanging himself by standing on a bucket and then kicking it away, thus "kicking the bucket."
Idioms are expressions that help us describe an exact situation in a different, more creative way. They share cultural and historical information and broaden people's understanding of a language. Idioms build up some distinctive features which can differ from one language to another.
