IDIOMS - group of words with different meanings from the actual words, eg. "It is raining cats and dogs." Are cats and dogs actually falling from the sky? no, it just means very heavy rain. The meaning is not literal. For example: It is raining cats and dogs I can't go out today. PHRASE - group of words that makes sense by itself but does not have a subject or verb. Therefore, it is usually used as part of a sentence. Eg. "Sick and tired" - sentence: I am sick and tired of school. This means, I hate school, I can't stand school. PROVERB - short popular saying that usually has some truth or useful thought or some life lessons. For example: "All that glitters is not gold." This means something or a situation may not be as good as it looks or seem. Eg. I purchased this beautiful dress, but the color changed in a week,all that glitters is not gold. Make hay while the sun shine (proverb/idiom He or she is a wallflower (idiom) Spare the rod and save/spoil the child(proverb)

...and... you can definitely stand down... a verb not necessarily along the lines of physical action - or motion - like standing up, but it certainly has its own different meaning.
