Welcome
Hi, and welcome to Wiktionary. I'm glad you are attempting to contribute to our lexicon of idioms, which is quite needed here, but there have been quite a few issues with your edits so far that I had to fix. I will point out some of these here:


 * A phrase like darn it is not a noun and should not be listed as such; I wouldn't say for example "I have had two darn its today." That phrase in particular is an interjection, and other phrases are generally marked as "Phrase". not all heroes wear capes is also not a noun, but should be listed as a proverb.
 * You should not define a verb as a noun. You listed flutter tongue as a verb, but gave it a noun's definition: "A technique which ...", which should have been "To use a technique which ...", for example.
 * Please take some time to read Appendix:English parts of speech to learn more about parts of speech in English.

Beyond these content issues, I will give you our welcome template below, as the links below will help you understand the community, and entry layout.

"Idiom"
We don't use the part of speech "idiom" at Wiktionary; please use "verb", "adjective", "noun", or "phrase", for example. Please read WT:ELE to learn about the only headers we allow in entries, and choose wisely your pick. PseudoSkull (talk) 09:42, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
