Summary: More word fun with Ianto & Myfanwy.

“An idiom is a group of words established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from those of the individual words,” Ianto explained.

"Squawk?!" (What?)

“Here’s an example. ‘ It’s raining cats and dogs’ means it’s raining a lot, not that animals are falling from the sky.”

"Squawk?" (Why would you say it if it wasn’t true?)

Undeterred, Ianto continued, “Here’s another example – 'Easy as Pie'. Now making a pie isn’t easy, but eating a pie is. The expression means something very easy and pleasant.  Do you understand now?”

"Squawk!" (No! These idioms are not a piece of cake.)
