Phrase | one way or the other |
Text | In this podcast, the phrase "one way or the other" means in one of two ways, with no other possibilities, and can be used to describe something that must happen without exceptions: "We're going to have to find a solution one way or the another." The phrase "(one's) way or the highway" means that one will not compromise and things must be done as one wants: "Our boss never listens to anyone else. It's always his way or the highway." Finally, the phrase "to clear/pave the way" means to prepare something for another person to do something, or to make it possible for others to do something in the future: "Women like Marie Curie paved the way for female scientists." |
