Taking heart is letting go. The media does not do this. They stir the pot and expect us to hold the bowl.

Chewing the fat came from when the rich had parties and invited the socialites to polish off all the meat they had stored up – always on the night before lent started! Going to go “chew the fat” referred to eating the meat and socializing. Coincidentally, this is why the Tuesday before Lent begins is called Fat Tuesday. No meat starting Wednesday, so everyone must get fat from eating all the meat they posses in their iceboxes!

I am wondering if this phrase has something to do with Guy De Maupassant and his short stories. Please let me know. Thanks.

Good afternoon!
There appears to be a typo in sentence 6 (they –> their)
P.S. I appreciate how insightful your definitions are. Great work! Спасибо!:)

If the structure is like ” Subject +as well as+ subject…. Then the verb will definitely be according to the first subject
Ex : I as well as my friend am going to market. (am ✔️ is/are ✖️)

I remember reading about, “low lying fruit” in Aesop’s Fables back in grade school. And of course there would be a moral to his story.

A long way, you can finish step by step, and then you can’t reach without a foot

@Shreya, I hope you’re not a teacher. You are amazingly shortsighted! Your comment assumes this is not a positive sentence because “we are telling children to work late at night at the last moment.” This does not imply it’s at the last moment. Only then do you work hard at night.
