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.
