It´s probably that you´ve used idioms, but you´ve never known that those are called idioms.

They are phrases whose meaning is diffcult or sometimes impossible to guess by 👀 at the meaning of their individual words. They have idiomatic meanings.
For example:
I can´t 🎤. I have Van Gogh´s 👂 for 🎵.

This phrase means that someone can´t understand the different and differences between 🎵🎶.
