learn "wild goose chase"
Wednesday, January 6, 2016
May I introduce you to this idiom, just in case you have never come across it:
"Wild goose chase"
This means "a search for something impossible; or something that does not exist and that wastes your time".
e.g.
I think looking for all corrupt past leaders in Nigeria would only amount to a 'wild goose chase'.
NB: I have always said that the usage of idioms in expressions shows that you are proficient in that language and stands you out among others.
Learn more from some I have introduced to you.
Can you still recall I once said the correct is "You can't have your cake and eat it"? Not what you have been saying all the while.
This time, I need you to digest the meaning of "wild goose chase".
May I have you add that to your mental lexicon.
Thanks.
