Figures of speech (6)

Ross

I think it could be either:

idioms

tropes

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">figures of speech</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is all the clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for idioms that I've seen before include "Dialectic words" , "styles of speech" , "Dialects, vernaculars" , "Modes of expression peculiar to a language" , "Turns of phrase" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the LA Times, the Universal and The Guardian.
