Phrase to get (one's) feet wet
Text The phrase "to get (one's) feet wet," in this podcast, means to begin doing something slowly or gradually, without risking too much and without making a significant commitment: "I don't know if I'm ready for college, so I'm taking just one course this semester to get my feet wet." The phrase "(someone) is all wet" means that someone is entirely wrong or incorrect: "Whoever made these financial projections is all wet and should be fired." The phrase "wet behind the ears" describes someone who is very young, immature, and inexperienced: "These job candidates are asking for big salaries even though they're still wet behind the ears and have almost no professional experience." Finally, a "wet blanket" is an informal term for a person who spoils other people's fun: "Don't be such a wet blanket! Stop talking about work, and start having some fun!"
