ESLPod_0200_WE_0074 Meeting a Deadline The phrase "to push back," in this podcast, means to change a scheduled event to a later date: "Since Dave will be out of town on the 4th, we'll need to push back the date of the party." There is a slightly different phrase, "to push ahead," that means to continue even though the situation is difficult: "We're all tired but let's push ahead and try to finish this letter before we quit work for the day." Or, "A lot of people don't want us to say anything negative about the new policy, but we have to push ahead if we want our opinions to be heard." Another phrase, "to push around," means to force someone to do something they don't want to, by threatening them with harm: "An older boy at school is trying to push my little brother around." Or, "The new boss is trying to push everybody around by making decisions without asking anyone else."
