What's the difference between a metaphor and an idiom?
Is it possible for a phrase to be both a metaphor and an idiom?
Yes, it is. In fact, many phrases can be both a metaphor and an idiom, depending on how they are used in a sentence. For example, "Hit the nail on the head" is an idiom that means to do or say something exactly right, and it's also a metaphor that compares the accuracy of the action to that of hitting a nail on its head.
