Isn't suspense at the heart of every good work of fiction?

Will Nymtoc start to play the dozens on Matera?

Play the dozens ?? Is that an idiom?

Is an "idiom" the same as an "idiomatic expression"?

Does an idiomatic expression differ from an idiotic expression, and if it doesn't, need we look any further than this thread to find countless examples?

If there's beer, then why are we all sitting here talking about idiot barking dogs?
