IDIOMS, IDIOMS, IDIOMS. So how do abstract idioms evolve? Imagine eavesdropping on 14-wheel truckers, carnival workers, body builders, astrologers, lawyers, doctors, psychologists, stamp collectors, surfers, ham radio operators, hunters, skinheads, tattoo artists, or rappers. You can bet your boots you'll hear some rather unfamiliar word phrases! Despite their abstract origins, once this private code phrase crosses common ground it begins to virally infiltrate the tipping point of conversations. As it expands beyond its cultural roots as an over-used popularized expression, linguists label and categorized it as an idiom. Popular expressions evolve every day just as they have for centuries. Some stick while others quietly fade into the sunset. Cultural insiders constantly spawn new lingo code phrases. As these repeated phrases become commonly accepted expressions, they stick and spread like wildfire. In viral time, this visual vocabulary hatches a new idiom expression that is quickly popularized in our daily conversations, beginning the process of literally putting words in our mouth. When someone says their best friend "Kicked the Bucket" what immediately pops into your head? After all, that's a rather abstract thought, and is exactly why it's classified as an idiom. Every new phrase starts as kind of a cultural fad, but when it goes viral it doesn't take long for it to stick and spread itself onto everyone's peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And that's where the role of idioms connects to our own verbage. The more bizarre the abstract connection, the stronger impression it makes on our visual brain.
