An idiom is a common phrase that cannot be understood literally; we must understand it's meaning beyond the words (ex: "you can take a horse to water but you can't make it drink" means that you can't force someone to do something that he/she doesn't want to do, "I didn't mean to spill the beans...😅" means that I didn't mean to tell someone/everyone a secret I was supposed to keep, etc.)
