Question

Finger in Every Pie lo have a part in something; to be involved in many matters, businesses, or activities

Accepted Answer

Mrs. Simon has her finger in every pie when it comes to music, dance, and theater. The image that possibly created this expression might be of a person who can't decide what pie he or she wants—blueberry, pecan, peach—so they stick a finger in every pie to get a taste of each. Think of each pie as a different business or project, and when you put your finger into a "pie," you have a part interest or responsibility in that activity. People often participate in many activities to make extra profit for themselves.
