We can try to reschedule it, but I don’t
think that will fly.
* will/won’t
fly: to be (un)acceptable
ex> Duct tape holding your car
together won’t fly when it comes to time for an inspection.
ex> Here’s the alternative version of
the ad, but I don’t think it will fly with the client.
I’m way ahead of you! I already left a message and sent him two texts. And
I’m about to call the client and explain what is going on. Hopefully I can buy us some time.
* ahead
of someone: having thought of something before it was asked
ex> My mother was always a step ahead
of me when I was planning to do something bad.
* buy
some time: to get an extension
ex> Bill called his creditors to buy
some time until he could find a job.
I knew there was a reason I made you my right-hand man… err.. woman.
* right-hand
man: the main assistant to someone; partner
ex> His right-hand man was
always ready to take notes or make coffee.
And all this time I thought it was
because of my impeccable taste in
clothes! Haha!
* impeccable: 흠잡을 데 없는
There’s no time for joking. I’m still holding out hope that Matt will
miraculously be cured and show up in the next 10 minutes.
* hold
out hope: to believe there will be a positive outcome
ex> We were no longer holding out
hope that there would be any seats available on the later flight.
I don’t know what I would do without you
and your willingness to take the initiative
all the time.
* initiative: 솔선하는 행동, 진취성
