A nest egg is a substantial sum of money or other assets that have been saved or invested for a specific purpose. Such assets are generally earmarked for longer-term objectives, the most common being retirement, buying a home and education. It can also refer to money kept aside as a reserve to deal with unexpected emergencies such as a medical problem or urgent housing repairs. “Nest egg”

Thank you. That's right. Some of my posts may not be technically idioms. But that's not really important. An expression like "nest egg" has a meaning which is different from its literal meaning. My goal is to express those peculiar meanings of these expressions.

I am not saying you are presenting wrong information . i am saying many of us don't know what is the difference between phrase and idioms. That's many of us think that whatever you are posting all are idioms. So of you want you can make is Phrases and idioms series.

ghasemkiani (69) · 7 years ago (edited)

I am not an expert, but the website idioms.com has also listed "nest egg":

http://www.theidioms.com/nest-egg/

The idiom alludes to the practice of putting an egg into a hen’s nest in order to encourage her to lay. However, the connection between this practice and savings is not clear. The phrase was used in the figurative form since the 17th century, with the earliest record found being from 1686.

The title of the website is: "The Idioms: Largest Idioms Dictionary".

But essentially what you're saying is right. Some of the expressions that I post are not really idioms and are just phrases. But they are useful. And since they are a small percentage, I don't think it is really necessary to change the title of the series.

Anyway, thank you for your feedback. It was really helpful.
