A '''fixed expression''' is a standard form of [[Idiom|expression]] that has taken on a more specific meaning than the expression itself. It is different from a [[proverb]] in that it is used as a part of a [[Sentence (linguistics)|sentence]], and is the standard way of expressing a [[concept]] or [[idea]].
