The exploration of idiomatic expressions such as "red herrings," "wild goose chases," and "lame ducks" takes an insightful turn with the application American Idioms. This app serves as a comprehensive dictionary that provides succinct definitions and contextual examples for these and numerous other common idioms in American English.

A notable aspect of American Idioms is its commitment to providing etymological insights. For instance, the idiom “wild goose chase” is rooted in historical horse racing, where participants mimicked the formation of geese in flight while pursuing a lead rider.
