I read the poster's question very carefully. That's why iI didn't see him/her asking about idioms. I only saw The words "idiomatic expression".
<<"we will stand behind you" - is this a cliché or idiomatic expression? and what does it
mean?
if this is not a cliche or idiomatic expression. Then, what is the idiomatic expression or cliche for "we will stand behind you"?>>
You claimed that "stand behind" is not an idiom, but do you see it as an idiomatic expression in some uses?
Why did you ask me to look for an entry in a dictionary that would state it was an idiom? I never said it was an idiom.
As to your "who is the General Public"...
When you said that "stand behind" is not an idiom, which definition of "idiom" were you using?
