Wait, we have another corpus-based study on the most frequently used idioms

Rafatbaksh (2019)'s compilation seems to include idioms that are more useful than e.g. `kind of`, `sort of`, etc
the most frequent idioms in the spoken genre
the most frequent idioms in the fiction genre
the most frequent idioms in the magazine genre
the most frequent idioms in the news paper genre
the most frequent idioms in the academic genre

Let's pick the top five from each genre.. maybe?
