An idiom is an expression whose meaning is not compositional—that is, whose meaning does not follow from the meaning of the individual words of which it is composed. For example, the English phrase to kick the bucket means to die. A listener knowing the meaning of kick and bucket will not thereby be able to predict that the expression can mean to die. Idioms are often, though perhaps not universally, classified as figures of speech.

I don't think that "place" exists.\nNow if you're saying "Inilapit sa iyo"....means, "Brought closer to you"\nLapit=close (not for nouns like doors or windows close)\nInilapit= brought closer\n\nHope this helps or you're just pulling our legs.

Here are some examples:\n\nHorse feathers (meaning 'nonsense')\n\nMad as a wet hen (meaning 'very, very vexed')\n\nSee the handwriting on the wall (meaning 'warning of a probable danger')\n\nTo lead [some]one down (or up) the garden path (meaning 'to deceive' or 'to bamboozle')\n\nTo take (something) lying down (meaning: someone who would take something lying down is spineless, a bootlicker, a stooge)\n\nEnglish (and most other languages) are filled with thousands of idiomatic expressions.

"Flash in the pan"\n\nAn effort or person that promises great success but fails. For example, His second novel proved to be a flash in the pan, or We had high hopes for the new director, but she was a flash in the pan. This metaphoric term alludes to the 17th-century flintlock musket, which could be fired only when the flash of the priming powder in the lockpan ignited the charge in the bore. When it failed to ignite, there was only a flash in the pan and the gun did not shoot
