What is idiomatic distortion?

Idiomatic distortion occurs when a speaker or writer uses an idiom in a way that deviates from its conventional meaning, resulting in a distorted or modified interpretation. Idiomatic expressions are typically fixed phrases or expressions with figurative meanings that are not directly deducible from the literal meanings of their individual words. When an idiom is used in a distorted manner, its intended meaning may become altered, obscured, or even contradictory. Idiomatic distortion is often used for humorous effect, to create emphasis or surprise, or to convey a unique perspective or interpretation of a situation.
