Idioms are usually such grammatical expressions that have no literal meaning but they are used in a wide range by almost every person. Almost every language has its own idioms but the definition remains the same. Meanings of such idioms are not deducible and obvious in individual words, still they are used. It is not necessary that idioms are always serious. They can also be funny. Actually, majority of idioms seem funny because they are meaningless. So they play two roles at the same time: 1: they can entertain you 2: they can be used in daily speech without any hesitation that people will laugh at you. If they do, you can simply say “what? It’s an idiom” and can go away. The only thing you need to be careful of is that the use of such idioms should be appropriate and idiom should be to the point.
