RE: Steem Basic Income Giveaway (Idioms)
I had thought that chewing the rag was just idle chatting? At least in Australia, maybe in the Canada it is different! I'm surprised my wife didn't know the last one, I thought that was quite common in the English countries!
Whenever my dad said it, I never got the feeling that we were idly chatting :) I'm surprised your wife didn't know it either...I wanted a different choice because I thought that one was a given, but I just couldn't think of another one :)
Yeah me too, I have a very Western vocabulary and use of idiomatic expressions and have always thought the chewing the rag was like chewing the fat and is idle chatter.
