A fixed expression is a form of expression that has taken on a more specific meaning than the words themselves. It is the standard way of expressing a concept or an idea; it is something we ordinarily say in certain situations.

 Examples include:

• Pleased to meet you
• All of a sudden
• On the other hand
• More trouble than it’s worth
• Neither here nor there

 

An idiom is an expression that cannot be understood from the meanings of its separate words but…

 An idiom is an expression that cannot be understood from the meanings of its separate words but that has a separate meaning of its own.

Examples include:

• A can of worms (a complicated problem)
• A chip of the old block (a child with similar characteristics to one of their parents)
• To be out for the count (to be sleeping peacefully)
• Rub someone the wrong way (annoy or bother someone)
• Pull someone’s leg (tease someone by trying to make them believe something that is not true)

اگه میشه به فارسی توضیح بدید چندین کلمه هست که ممکن است همه دچار اشکال شوند مثلا expression / idiom / phrase / slang

phrase یعنی عبارت. عبارت هم متشکل از چند کلمه س که تبدیل به جمله نشده هنوز. phrase ها مختلف داریم مثلا adverbial phrase  مثل all of a sudden، یعنی عبارتیه که نقش قید داره. 
حالا میتونه idiomatic هم باشه یا نباشه.
