An idiom (Latin: idioma, “special property”, from Greek: ἰδίωμα – idíōma, “special feature, special phrasing, a peculiarity”, f. Greek: ἴδιος – ídios, “one’s own”) is a phrase or a fixed expression that has a figurative, or sometimes literal, meaning. An idiom’s figurative meaning is different from the literal meaning.
“sometimes used ….to mean just the opposite”
If you’ve been with me since the beginning of this blog (almost six years) you’ve probably seen one of my favorite posts from 2009. Shot in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. Fiestaware bowl.
idioma ‘own way of speaking’; idiot ‘one who does only his own thing’; idiosyncrasy ‘own way of mixing things together’; idiom (Spanish): ‘our own way of speaking, our language'[?][?]
Thanks for your additions to the post, cousin John.
Not sure what idiom has to do with it but it is an interesting picture.
I like it!
Gorgeous! Looks like a painting, a classical still life!
Striking color contrast is attractive.
Nice china, bright colours and timeless style!
Lovely photo, Ruth. I recognized the Fiestaware right away. I have used my Grandma Rose’s Fiestaware since she died–it was my first set of china after I left home. Then Thom’s grandmother left him hers, which were different colors, but were also very old. Now we are a blended family with dishes to match any tablecloth they can throw at us.
