| Phrase | (one) knows best |
| Text | In this podcast, the phrase "(one) knows best" is used to show that another person has the best insight and knows what should be done, often used when one does not agree with that person: "Randall is convinced that he always knows best, but that attitude irritates other people." The phrase "to know better" means to have enough knowledge and experience to know that something is wrong and should not be done: "You're not a kid anymore - you know better than to get into fights." The phrase "to know no bounds" means to have no limits, especially when describing someone's good qualities: "Her patience has no bounds." Finally, the phrase "to know a thing or two" means to know a lot: "James has a black belt in karate, so he knows a thing or two about self-defense." |
