What exactly is the definition of an 'idiom' when related to OO? How does it differ from the concept of a Maxim? --Matthew Harward 09:27, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Anyone? --Matthew Harward 00:05, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

I guess an idiom is something people commonly use in particular situations like the Many to many association idiom which you can use to remove a dependency between two classes. A maxim tells you what you should do but an idiom isn't like a rule that should be followed. I don't know if this makes any sense :) -- Janina Voigt
