IV. IDIOMS
Out of the Woods
(out of danger)
Although Eric was well on his way to recovering from his bout with
pneumonia, he was still not out of the woods. The doctors told him that he would
have to take it easy and avoid exposure to cold, since he was not out of danger and
difficulty yet.
On One’s Last Legs
(sick and failing)
Poor Mike. He was one of the greatest musicians I’ve ever know, but when I
saw him the other day he looked like he was on his last legs.
Yeah. He hardly plays any more.
What made him give up his music?
Apparently he lost confidence in himself at some point in his career, and he’s
been sick and failing ever since.
(To) within an Inch of One’s Life
(almost to the point of death)
-Oh! I haven’t seen you for ages! Where have you been all this time?
-You know, I was very ill.
-Sorry to hear it. I hope nothing dangerous.
-Unfortunately, it was a terrible flue. Actually I was within an inch of my life.
