20 Mar expression

A form of speech, particularly colloquial, used to represent a concept or object. To express means to put something that exists into a linguistic symbol that is intended to convey what is in the speaker’s (or writer’s) mind to the hearer’s (or reader’s) minds. The indignant expression “It’s just an expression” is usually used in an argument to deflect the attention of the hearer away from the fact that the hearer properly interpreted the speaker’s malignant intent.
