Glossary Term

I want to present my glossary term tomorrow since I found the actual word in our reading of Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. There are also a few examples, which I find helped me out a lot as far as presenting the term goes. The word is "idiom." It means, "a phrase established by usage and not immediately comprehensible form the words used." That was the definition from the Oxford Dictionary. Oskar's Grandma's examples from the novel we're reading are, "Chew the fat. Blow off some steam. Close but no cigar. Rings a bell" (80). Oskar himself often uses an idiom when he talks about things making his boots heavier of lighter. So I tought it seemed like a decent time to share my glossary term!
