Idiom Project

What would it look like if an idiom meant what it said?

What is an idiom? An idiom is a figure of speech; an idiom's meaning cannot be understood by the individual words from which it is made. For example: If someone says, "It's raining cats and dogs," we know it's raining hard outside and that cats and dogs are not falling from the sky.

Please note that this year's idioms are still being scanned, and so not all of the links for 2011-12 are active.
