Yuvraj Kumar – (prevention is better than cure) September 7, 2021
It essentially means that it’s better to stop the things before it happens instead of having to repair it or deal with it’s consequences after it has already been done. It perfectly fills the space with the situation we are going through. As we all know, we all are going through hard time due to covid. As many countries and our country has took the decision of shutting done everything. Even every sectors got affected but behind this government has reason. At this time being socialising , shaking hands. So, keeping about some distance taking precautions , washing hands on a regular basis. So, by trying to prevent everyone from getting ill, so prevention is better than cure.

Abbas Bouazar – (cut down) September 5, 2021
In all examples that I read about this phrase, nouns were used after it. Will somebody tell me if I can use a verb after it? For instance, Can I say: I’ve decided to cut down going there. Thanks

It’s overused and threadbare. I’ll try different combos just to see if anything works. “We all need to be scratching the same spot??” “Not all of us have pulled our big panties up . . . ?” Hmmm.

I think the phrase precedes the board game
Corey Estoll – (pull the plug) August 24, 2021
Pulled the plug existed as an idiom before life support existed. It either came from pulling the plug out of a drain such as in a sink or tub or pulling out an electrical cord. That second origin is similar to the origin you suggested but predates your origin and is not morbid.
Jerome D Pax – (Punctuation) August 24, 2021
It better to get those pactuation marks in order to have efficient speaking especially in english. Other wise there is some confusion about the usage of apostrophe of possession and appostrophe of contraction.
Emmy – (crush) August 21, 2021
This is a question though not a thought if someone told you he has a crush on you and he knows that you know his girlfriend, still he said he loves his girlfriend but he has a crush on you what can you do in this situation
