Colloquial expressions make up the common language, mainly spoken, and are the usual form of expression of most speakers of any language, away from the fields where a "learned" and "precise" language is needed.

The colloquial language is everyday, simple language and is not necessarily subject to the usual linguistic rules for the expression of ideas. It is the language used without technicalities or specialized expressions. The colloquial language is the spontaneous and natural linguistic manifestation that springs from the habitual, daily conversation. Within the colloquial expressions are the pleonasms, the contrasentido, the nonsense, the exaggeration, the irony, the ambiguities and the metaphor.
