| Phrase | to take (something) a little too far |
| Text | The phrase "to take (something) a little too far," in this podcast, means to do too much of something or to go to an extreme so that what would normally be a good thing becomes a bad thing: "It's good to eat healthy foods, but Sheila is taking the dieting a little too far." If something is "far-fetched," it is very unlikely and difficult or impossible to believe: "Hank thinks we'll get five new clients this month, but I think his plans are far-fetched." The phrase "far-reaching" means having a lot of impact or influence: "The governor has proposed a far-reaching policy that would affect almost everyone in the state." Finally, someone who is "far-sighted" is able to come up with good ideas because he or she understands what will happen in the future: "If we had been more far-sighted, we would have invested in computer technology 20 years ago." |
