An idiom is a saying that doesn't really mean what it says. For instance, "it's raining cats and dogs" doesn't mean creatures are truly tumbling from the sky (it just means it's raining very hard).
A cliché is an amazingly overused saying or expression that is utilized so frequently it's not original anymore.
Utilizing clichés and idioms will build your vocabulary and guarantee that when you hear them spoken by a local, you'll know precisely what they mean.
