Idioms of interest
Here below are some common idioms that you may hear in the workplace. It is a good thing to have an understanding of them.
Downtime ( time to get some rest, some Rest and Relaxation (R&R)
I could do with some downtime. I ‘m totally exhausted because I worked 20 hours overtime this week.
Give you a leg up ( help someone out in an endeavour, help someone achieve something)
My supervisor really helped me with an important report; thereby giving me a leg up in getting this new promotion.
Give you a toe hold ( opportunity to get into something e.g. a job, into a good school, etc…)
I sent out 100 resumes , but starting my own blog gave me a toe hold in the job market and got me several interviews.
You haven’t been straight with me ( truthful)
My son said to me that he had been doing his homework every night as required. However, his teacher called me the other day and informed me that he had not been doing it after all. When he got home, I told him that he had not been straight with me
Dial it up or down ( raise or lower the volume)
If the music is too loud in the next suite, I just tell them to dial it down a bit.
My friend speaks so softly that I can hardly hear her, therefore, I often have to tell her to dial it up.
I’m all over that (covered all the bases- been very thorough and already prepared for what needs to be done)
Don’t worry. I’m all over that is what I said to my supervisor. I have taken care of every single detail in this project and missed nothing of importance.
Hilary Duff “dishes” about fashion ( celebs talking about something)
Hilary Duff was on TV lately dishing about her latest line of clothing that will be coming out on the market soon.
Suck it up ( stop complaining, and just deal and accept the situation)
I lost about $100.00 at the casino last night, but my friends were not very sympathetic, because they had lost even more, They just said to me to suck it up.
Ragging on ( razzing someone , teasing or bugging someone)
My friends are always ragging on me about being too stingy. I’m tired of them always commenting on how cheap I am.
The truth straight up ( telling the truth as it is)
I was very direct with my friend. I said he would have to redo his resume because of all the errors in it if he wanted to get a job. I gave him the truth straight up.
You’re good to go ( ready for the start of something e.g. project or to continue with something)
I just got all my monthly office supplies from Staples; therefore, I’m good to go for the month.
