In Norwegian we say « Du må ha is i magen» it literally means that You must have ice in your stomach. It means that You must be patient :)

May I ask you? You said: "Cat got your tongue?". Shouldn't I ask this idiom in a standard English asking way: "Did cat get your tongue?", should I?

I'd rather call them "figurative expressions".
"Idioms" somehow stand very close to "idiots", scaring away people from knowledge.
