WORK CUT OUT
Do you know where in London this phrase comes from? Watch the video to find out, then try our quiz here:
In English, we say that someone has their work cut out when there is a big or complicated task that needs completing.
Examples:
I’ve got my work cut out for me today, I’ve got to take the kids to their swimming lesson, make a cake, deliver a parcel and hire someone to fix the roof.
Dave’s got his work cut out trying to get Arthur to finish that project. He’s been working on it for weeks!
