The metaphoric nature of an idiom accounts the unpredictability of the global meaning of the whole from, the literal meanings of the constituent parts and results in its usage as a lexical expressive means in fiction. Syntactic and semantic flexibility of idioms is confirmed by various kinds of their deformations.
