An idiom is also called idiomatic expression.
An idiom is an expression, word, or phrase.
An idiom has a different meaning from what is in the dictionary.
An idiom does not mean exactly what the dictionary states.

2.
Paul: Hi! Helen and I are getting married soon.
John: Great! When will you name the day?
Paul: We will name the day soon!
John: Brilliant!

Hi there! I know the idiom: "When pigs will fly". It means - never. So you can use it while taking about events that will never happen.
