      In this case, I’m using idiom in its “I was a Creative Writing Major at College” sense; that is:

      A speech form or an expression of a given language that is peculiar to itself grammatically or cannot be understood from the individual meanings of its elements, as in “keep tabs on”.

      So my use of the word here just means “expression” or “figure of speech,” which is probably what I should have said in the first place; sorry for the confusion.

      Edit: a grammatical correction no one but me would probably notice or care about.
