Idiom used in a sentence

Idiom in a sentence as a noun

"Men from the boys" is a common idiom.

I can see what the old idiom about ignorance and bliss means now.

"Count your fingers after shaking hands with that guy" is an idiom suggesting that the guy will steal one.

The word "idiom" has two different senses. First, there's the sense that the author is discussing.

They took a very common idiom and re-imagined it in a fun and creative way.

It's trying to force a Python or OCaml idiom on to Go. Basically, what you want is to implement a HasNext and a Next function and write a "for" loop.

While this sense might be characterized as having to do with social mores, I don't think it's a misuse of the word "idiom".

Presumably because it's really > common to use the "if not enum" idiom.

This is often a very useful idiom which would be harder to write with a different way of handling errors.

To be fair, that is a particularly idiotic idiom.

[1,2,3,4] == 1:[2,3,4]\n\nSo when we send [1,2,3,4] into `f`, it gets decomposed into ` 1:[2,3,4] ` where 1 gets put into `p` and [2,3,4] gets put into `xs`.This is a very common idiom in Haskell.

Rust is in the middle of switching its dominant iteration idiom from internal iterators to external iterators.

If there were something for me to criticize about your usage it would be that you've chosen a sentence that leans more toward "place against" than "place beside", so the contemporary idiom to use "oppose" would likely apply.
