Phrase | don't look now |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "don't look now" means "surprise" or "guess what just happened" and is used to tell someone that one is about to present some unexpected information: "Don't look now, but I think the pie is burning." The phrase "to look the other way" means to ignore something bad that is happening: "Psychologists are trying to understand why so many people choose to look the other way when they see a crime being committed." Finally, the phrase "look before you leap" is used to tell someone to stop and think clearly about the dangers or risks before doing something: "It's important to look before you leap by learning as much as you can about the company before accepting the job offer." |
