What is an idiom exactly? the link just lists them. Maybe you could explain it or we just pick one from the list?

make a mountain out of a mole hill. Lol, i use stuff like that, though not as like, poetic. Btw, an idiom is sorta like a saying that poses no relation to what you actually mean. Like, piece of cake means somethings easy, but the situation has nothing to do with cake.

How is 'yummy' an idiom, unless you say someone is 'yummy'. But now why would you say something like that?

My all time favorite. "Water off a Duck's Back." When I first heard it, I went," Water off a Duck's Back... I thought water was absorbed in their skin. It means being giving negative comments but shooing them away.
