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.
