(ELA) Expressions that seem to say one thing but actually mean something else are called:

kenny6666 [7]

Answer:

B. idioms

Explanation:

Idioms are phrases or expressions that say one thing but are in fact conveying a different meaning which is previously culturally established.

If one tries to understand them literally, they won’t have much sense. Yet, those who know language proficiently will understand the meaning of these phases in a metaphoric sense accepted in the common language and the symbolic matter.

Some of the examples can be:

when the pigs fly – this means something will never happen, as pigs do not fly
piece of cake – means something is very easily achieved and accomplished with little effort.
to pull someone’s leg – idiom meaning to joke with someone, to make them believe in something which is not true, but in a playful way. \
to break the ice – meaning to do something first and make others at ease, to relieve the tension.
