Κάτι σχετικό με τον τίτλο του νήματος... αυτά που μεταφέρετε δεν είναι ιδιωματισμοί αλλά ιδιωτισμοί. Δεν ξέρω αν έχει ξανασυζητηθεί το θέμα.
Εδώ δεν έχουμε ασχοληθεί, αλλά, αν το κάνουμε, ας το κάνουμε σε ξεχωριστό νήμα. Ο χώρος που είναι ο κατεξοχήν αρμόδιος για τους idioms, δηλαδή ο χώρος της διδασκαλίας ξένων γλωσσών, χρησιμοποιεί εδώ και πολλές δεκαετίες τον όρο ιδιωματισμός για να περιγράψει τις παγιωμένες εκφράσεις μιας γλώσσας που δεν ερμηνεύονται με την κυριολεκτική σημασία τους. Οι γλωσσολόγοι μπορεί να θέλουν να αλλάξουν τα δεδομένα, να λέμε αυτές τις εκφράσεις ιδιωτισμούς και να κρατήσουμε τον όρο ιδιωματισμός για τους τοπικούς ιδιωματισμούς. Έχουν πετύχει μόνο μέσα στον δικό τους κύκλο. Οι μεταφραστές, όταν μάθαιναν την ξένη γλώσσα τους στο σχολείο ή το φροντιστήριο, διδάχτηκαν ιδιωματισμούς. Και εκεί έχουν μείνει.

not by any stretch of the imagination also by no stretch of the imagination = ούτε κατά διάνοια
if you say that by no stretch of the imagination can you describe something or someone in a particular way, you mean that this way of describing them is certainly not correct:
She was never a great player, not by any stretch of the imagination. | He's pleasant looking but by no stretch of the imagination could you describe him as handsome.
