@richells The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice.

Idiom
Examples of U.K. Idioms:
- Up the duff (To be pregnant)
- By the skin of your teeth (To only just be successful e.g you get 71 on an exam where the pass mark is 70)
- Call it a day (to stop doing what your doing)
Idioms are phrases that have different meanings from the words used. They can be difficult to understand.
Proverb
Examples of U.K. proverbs:
- Two wrongs don't make a right (When someone has done something bad to you, taking revenge will only make things worse.)
- No man is an island (You can't live completely independently. Everyone needs help from other people at some point.)
- The best things in life are free (We don't have to pay for the things that are really valuable, like love, friendship, etc.)
Proverbs are the traditional / historic sayings of a country. They are short, clever sentences that usually offer life advice.

We usually use the word “proverb” to refer to historical or foreign, for example Confucian or Japanese proverbs, whereas those currently used in English are referred to as “sayings” or “idioms”.
