Explanation:
An idiomatic expression is a phrase or group of words whose meaning cannot be deduced from the literal words used.

So, Sheila was blamed or punished when her brother broke the antique lamp. The native speakers of a language are quite familiar with the idiomatic expressions in their language.
I knew that the phrase, 'took the rap', was an idiomatic expression because I could not easily deduce its meaning from just the literal words used. So I understood that there must have been a deeper meaning to it.
