Jackie, I'm not sure of this, but it seems that if you get down to specifics, idiom is the form of expression, and idiotism is the manner of expression.
"So what's the difference between form and manner," is heard from the back of the room.
FWIW (a cheap laugh?), the French form of both idiotisms is idiotisme
