Phrase that's the idea
Text In this podcast, the phrase "that's the idea" is used when you're confirming to someone that they're doing something correctly: "You've got it now. That's the idea. Soon you'll be doing it better than I can." We can also use this phrase to mean that this is the general meaning or method of doing something: "Making good bread isn't easy, but that's the idea." A similar phrase, "to get the idea," means to understand: "I'm starting to get the idea that you don't want me here." Or, "He's been studying those books for days but he doesn't seem to be getting the idea." Another phrase, "to have no idea," means to not know at all: "I could tell that she was gaining weight, but I had no idea that she was going to have a baby!" Or, "We're all going to the performance tonight but I have no idea what time it starts."
