Resumen
The topic of this paper is widespread idioms (WIs) originating from the domain ‘modern technology’. These idioms are only a small
part of the entire “Lexicon of Common Figurative Units” (i.e. the inventory of idioms which exist in a large number of European languages in a similar lexical structure and in the same figurative core meaning). The six idioms discussed here belong to one of the most recent layers of the common European figurative language.
