Common figure of speech/colloquial language?

Perhaps someone new looking in may know of examples.

And again, the someone new needs to be someone who thinks that the crucifixion took place on the 6th day of the week with a 1st day of the week resurrection and who thinks that the "heart of the earth" refers to the tomb and who tries to explain Matthew 12:40 by saying that it is using common figure of speech/colloquial language.
