This is patently claptrap and anyone who ever tried to chase wild geese (or any ground feeding bird) gets the exact meaning of running to one place only to see the target fly to another before you get close enough.

I don’t want to nitpick but in this writing of this idiom and in general in the entire website there are too many mistakes, I’m an advanced English student I can juggle with these mistakes, my main concern is for beginners who can get confused and learn things wrongly, so I would recommend checking things with other websites to make sure you learn the right way.

Barbara Thaden – (blood, sweat, and tears) March 3, 2019
I found this phrase in The Iliad, Book 11 line 638, translated by Stanley Lombardo.: “Achilles was standing on the stern of his ship/Gazing out at the blood, sweat and tears/of the Greeks in rout.” (p. 216). Don’t know how it relates to the original Greek.

Let’s not take this matter any further. Why don’t we bury the hatchet and befriend again?

@Fatima Savoy… it’s not a noun and verb combination… that would give the phrase a completely different meaning if it was…
