you can only try to figure out the meaning based on where and how it's used in the context of the sentence.  If you're still stumped, take a guess of its meaning and go with it.  Don't spend loads of time trying to figure it out.

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.

Associate each word with a "root word" on the meaning of the word. Then go through the whole list and see if you can associate each term with the "root word" you chose. Then associate the "root word" with the rest of the meaning.\n\nFor example:\nIrony - The use of words to express something different from and often opposite to their literal meaning. \n\nI will choose the word "opposite" from the meaning, since it is the word that mostly characterize the word "irony"\n\nHence, I will study: "Irony - Opposite"\n\nThen, once I am good at associating each of the words I need to study, I add the rest of the meaning. Mostly, if you remember the associated word, it will give you hints on the rest of the meaning.
