It's a precious and important idiom to both grasp and use! *nodnod*
Some social cues and figures of speech fly right over my head, but I make up for it in linguistic skills. Grammar, spelling and the theory of things like idioms and metaphors come under this, so that's one way I can help myself. Comprehension, however, is another thing entirely 0_o I know how these things work technically, but I don't always do a good job at interpreting them and have to work atit in practice. Like some people are amazing at music theory and can't play an instrument proficiently at all.
