Idioms If you say, "The cat's out of the bag" instead of "The secret is given away," you are using an idiom. The meaning of an idiom is different from the actual meaning of the words used. Proverbs "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a proverb. Proverbs are old but familiar sayings that usually give advice. Both idioms and proverbs are part of our daily speech. Many are very old and have interesting histories.
