Phrase to go overboard
Text The phrase "to go overboard," in this podcast, means to be too enthusiastic about something or to do too much of something: "We know the food at school isn't very good, but don't go overboard while you're home for the holidays." Or, "Cynthia went completely overboard when her granddaughter was born, buying far too many presents for the baby." The phrase "to fall overboard" or "to jump overboard" can mean to fall or jump over the side of a boat or a ship into the water, usually accidentally. For example, "The child was playing too close to the edge of the boat, and he accidentally fell overboard into the cold water." On a boat or ship, one should shout, "Man overboard!" to make other people aware that someone has fallen into the water.
