Lets learn English

Don’t waste these three: Time, Money and Energy

For the birds  - no good, worthless, ridiculous

 

Example : This conference is for the birds -- let's leave now

 

Do the trick  - If something does the trick, it has the necessary or desired effect

 

Example : This sauce needs a bit of flavor - I know, some lemon juice should do the trick.


To be on the safe side  - being especially careful in order to avoid something unpleasant

 

Example : I'm sure it won't rain, but I'll take an umbrella (just) to be on the safe side.


Trivial  - Of little significant value, ordinary

 

Example : Sexual harassment in the workplace is not a trivial matter

 
 

Culture shock  - A condition of confusion and anxiety affecting a person suddenly exposed to an alien culture

 

Example : It's not just jet lag -- it's the culture shock of being in a new country


On foot  - Walking or running, not using a vehicle.

 

Example : There's no road to the lodge; we have to get there on foot.
