Idiom: come to mind (used idiomatically: yes)
Having said this , we should also expect much greater segmentation in terms of impact – and that the consequences will affect both individual countries and the global system as a whole . In some countries – for example , Italy , Japan , and the United ~ States – politics will remain the primary driver of economic - policy approaches . But elsewhere – China , Egypt , Germany , and Greece come to mind – the reverse will be true , with economics becoming a key determinant of political outcomes . This duality in causation speaks to a world that will become more heterogeneous in 2013 – and in at ~ least two ways : it will lack unifying political themes , and it will be subject to multi - speed growth and financial dynamics that imply a range of possible scenarios for multilateral policy interactions . With an election looming in Italy , the country ’s technocratic interim administration will return the reins of power to a democratically elected government .
Idiom: bottom drawer (used idiomatically: yes)
Miranda ID'd both of them , she was sure it was one of them , but not sure which .

Idiom: high and low (used idiomatically: yes)
Early identification of accelerated rise will be possible if the year - to - year variability can be understood and removed from the records . There is a close parallel here with changes to atmospheric pressure ; high and low sea - level systems exist in the oceans . The ocean currents flow around these in the same way that winds blow around high and low centres of atmospheric pressure . To understand the year - to - year changes of sea level , we need to understand the ocean circulation and how it is driven by winds and by the balance of tropical warming and polar cooling . The World Ocean Circulation Experiment begins next year and extends to 1995 .
Idiom: by the book (used idiomatically: yes)

Idiom: in the final analysis (used idiomatically: no)
He argues that a monad is fully determined by the attributes it has and , what is more , that every monad is qualitatively ( not just numerically ) different from every other . If two monads coincided in all their attributes , then they would be indistinguishable and one could not properly speak of " two " monads . This is the gist of his " principle of indiscernibles " , and it might seem that the most natural conclusion for him to draw would be that numerical identity , in the final analysis , reduces to qualitative identity and numerical distinguishability to qualitative difference . Yet Leibniz does not draw this conclusion . Although he maintains that every monad is distinguished from every other in virtue of the attributes it has , he nevertheless refuses to regard monads as mere agglomerations ' of attributes — or what might be more appropriately described as groups or " bundles " of qualities , without a " substratum " .
Idiom: out of sight (used idiomatically: yes)
And , if any other recommendation be needed , I was asked for the second time to be coach monitor on our outing to Brighton , so you can see that I must be OK . But , I recently did something absolutely stupid . I thought that out of sight was out of mind and put my handbag inside a shopping bag , which I zipped up and then left in my shopping trolley . I now ask myself how I could have been so daft . My handbag was stolen in Crayford store .

Idiom: have a heart (used idiomatically: yes)
Even if he 'd been rushed straight to hospital , they might not have been able to save him . I like that . I 'll remember her wise words if someone ever has a heart attack while I 'm around — there 's no particular hurry.’ I nodded reflectively ; sipped orange juice . ‘ Who needs Freud when there 's Deirdre?’
Idiom: under the table (used idiomatically: yes)
Under his breath , so that Earl could not hear him , he murmured ‘ Holy cow!’(’ or it may have been a little more graphic’ ) . Richardson looked up . He either kicked me under the table or something and we were sitting across from each other … just a foot or two , and he passed it over , directed me to the top paragraph and had an expression of this was a surprising entry . So I read it and I gave a similar look back and I think I probably said something like that did n't happen or something along those lines , that 's hard to believe that had happened and passed it back to him and then that was it , we did not discuss it at the time … My first impression was this is too spectacular to think it happened .
Idiom: have a ball (used idiomatically: no)
‘ It was a question of attitude . We had to keep our nerve and keep playing , ’ Sharpe added . Cantona claimed the equaliser to disprove accusations that he 's no more than a ball-juggling circus act . ‘ It shows I can score from close range , ’ he said . ‘ It was an opportunist 's goal . ’
Idiom: by the same token (used idiomatically: yes)
Separation might be the ' fault ' of husband , wife or both . It is bad actuarial practice to insure against something that can only happen with the consent of the insured person — you can not , for example , ' insure ' yourself against committing suicide . By the same token , Beveridge realised that if the man was paying the insurance contributions , cover could not be provided against the possibility of him leaving his wife . Yet on Beveridge 's own admission , loss of support due to marriage breakdown was a serious risk to a dependent wife , equivalent to an employed person 's loss of income due to unemployment . Beveridge made proposals for a separation benefit , to be paid only in cases of formal separation not caused by the wife .
Idiom: have a go (used idiomatically: yes)
JIM DELAHUNT Celtic manager Lou Macari arrived back from Lisbon fully convinced of the need for new players at Celtic Park . The new manager was n't having a go at the players who 'd lost two-nil to Sporting . It was more a case of realising that Celtic 's squad lacked the strength in depth required for a successful European campaign and to mount a sustainable challenge on the domestic front . Macari may find he has to sell before he can buy , so rebuilding could be a lengthy process .
Idiom: make or break (used idiomatically: yes)
If they have to stay in the trench long enough for new roots to develop , they are not so likely to be damaged if you lift them from loose , friable soil . Throw over a covering of compost , peat , leaves or newspaper , wrap with sacking or cartons , and hardy plants will then be happy enough , for a few weeks if need be . Planting , the make - or - break job , follows as soon as conditions allow , but there is still a lot of preparation that should have been completed beforehand . By and large , planting roses will be in one of two ways : either planting into fresh ground , a new collection perhaps , where they have not grown before , or you may be making a replacement of an old worn - out plant , or where one has failed . The very first and most important principle to bear in mind when planting a rose or any other shrub or tree is that this is the last opportunity you will have to do anything basic about the soil underneath , where the roots will have to work .
Idiom: at a stretch (used idiomatically: no)
There are few tearaways . We left Miami on a Tuesday afternoon and were in A-1 's Los Angeles ' office by midday on Saturday . We were in a hurry , and did n't even stop at a motel on the Friday night , driving 1,400 miles at a stretch . The LA office was laid back to horizontal . They did not care about the burst tyre — all 14 inches and $ 400 of it — and could hardly be bothered to check the rest of the car .
Idiom: off and on (used idiomatically: no)
' The Single Market has made the journey quicker and more simple , ' he said . ' There are no barriers at Calais . It 's straight off the ferry and on to the road . ' Removal of petty restrictions has also made life easier . Previously , for example , drivers risked a heavy fine if they crossed a border with more than 200 litres of diesel — the idea was to ensure they filled up with fuel abroad .
Idiom: carry the can (used idiomatically: yes)
SOUNESS : Demanding IT 'S MY FAULT SIMON TRACEY last night volunteered to carry the can for the double calamity that denied Sheffield United victory over Wimbledon .

Idiom: do the right thing (used idiomatically: no)
Flexibility serves one major aim : to allow parents to enjoy their role . ' When you both feel light - hearted enough to enjoy your baby , you are making a good start ' says Infant Care on its second page , and Spock uses the same injunction , ' Enjoy Your Baby ' , as a subheading in his chapter ' The Right Start ' . In Martha Wolfenstein 's words ( 1955 ) , ' Fun has become not only permissible but required ' ; the modern mother is already a creature whose ' feelings of inadequacy are matched only by her undying efforts ' , according to Johnson and Medinnus ( 1965 ) , and ' fun morality ' now ensures that ' her self - evaluation can no longer be based entirely on whether she is doing the right and necessary things but becomes involved with nuances of feelings which are not under voluntary control ' ( Wolfenstein , 1955 , our italics ) . 1.4 System of Education ( prior to the advent of the European ) J. Kenyatta
Idiom: up the ante (used idiomatically: yes)

Idiom: break even (used idiomatically: no)
It is very noticeable in Petipa 's ballets , particularly in all the corps de ballet work of The Sleeping Beauty . Ashton and MacMillan adopt the same practice in their ballets which can be called classical in the court meaning of the term and whenever the music used is composed according to the formulae for classical composition . They do this even though they may break the conventions from time to time . They do it because they know the audience is watching a constantly evolving picture which is being drawn on , over , across and above a flat stage in front of a background . They know they must fill the empty space with movement , whether there is scenery in the background or where the costumes are at their simplest and the background merely a hint of some venue as , for example , in Symphonic Variations or Requiem , or even just shafts of light as in Monotones .
Idiom: by the same token (used idiomatically: yes)
This is a most important result . Deviations from a state of overall full employment must be randomly distributed around a mean of zero . Since the condition for rationality contained in restriction ( 7.3 ) rules out any systematic relation between v t , the prediction error , and lagged values of v t , it rules out by the same token any persistent deviation of y t from y * ; . That is , It appeared that output and employment in one period were correlated with lagged values of these variables over the phase of the business cycle .
Idiom: close to home (used idiomatically: yes)
I mean Stephen is a heck of a long time ago , he 's the very first martyr , and we although we celebrate his feast day still on December the twenty sixth because he is the first martyr , he 's quite a long way away . Although a lot of his story is still relevant to us cos you can see it in today 's life when people stand up for themselves or stand up for their faith or what they believe in and you look around you , you can see violence and being done to them . But can you think of anybody for yourself who you could think of who over the recently or over the in the past few centuries or closer to home have shown the gifts of the Holy Spirit in their lives ? Well the Prime Minister right right judgement and wisdom . Most of the time .
Idiom: to die for (used idiomatically: yes)
Until recently , that is , when something started stirring down on the movie lot . And women who , while not exactly ugly , were certainly not beautiful in the Hollywood sense , began to fill the screens and put record numbers of bums on seats . Ellen Barkin ( small of eye and thin of lip ) , Jamie Lee Curtis ( bright - eyed but androgynous ) , Anjelica Huston ( body to die for — unforgiving face ) , Bette Midler ( where do I begin ? ) uncurled themselves across screens from LA to Llandudno , playing women who were as sexy and salacious as they were ballsy and bloody - minded . And even as they fouled up long - held theories on what was sexy , they gave a whole new dimension to perceptions of ‘ womanhood’ . So what 's happening ?
Idiom: the icing on the cake (used idiomatically: yes)
The lightly - grained basswood body is two - piece , and even the centre laminate of the maple neck possesses some attractive grain patterns , and again the feel of the neck in both profile and response is particularly praiseworthy . The fingerboard / neck jointing and overall fretwork is exemplary ; the neck - edging feels impossibly smooth , and hopefully manufacturing consistency means that all similar - spec'd Bass Collection instruments will be as good as this . The final icing on the cake is the beautifully - cut brass nut which looks terrific against the sunbursting . And with this spec we get straplocks . So , up - to - the - minute styling and first - class performance , combined with that irresistible whiff of exclusivity does n't have to cost the earth , as these three fine examples most assuredly demonstrate .
Idiom: out of line (used idiomatically: yes)
None the less the emperor decides against the hopeful beneficiary , and he asserts that his decision rests on the testator 's intention . Presumably he is taking the intention to be to charge the trust only if it is not an unduly great burden on the trustee . In this case too it looks as if the decision is out of line with the most obvious interpretation of the words . These are the main cases in which an explicit reference is made to the importance of intention in interpreting trusts . The first is not very remarkable .
Idiom: turn a blind eye (used idiomatically: yes)
In the United ~ States , despite GDP growth , most citizens are worse - off today than they were before the crisis , because income gains since then have gone almost entirely to those at the top . In short , many central bankers who served in the heady pre - crisis years have much to answer for . Given their excessive belief in unfettered markets , they turned a blind eye to palpable abuses , including predatory lending , and denied the existence of an obvious bubble . Instead , central bankers focused single - mindedly on price stability , though the costs of somewhat higher inflation would have been miniscule compared to the havoc wrought by the financial excesses that they allowed , if not encouraged . The world has paid dearly for their lack of understanding of the risks of securitization , and , more broadly , their failure to focus on leverage and the shadow banking system .
Idiom: fast and furious (used idiomatically: yes)
The result is not quite organic movement nor is the pace quite lifelike ; but since ED 209 is a machine , and increasingly a comic one at that , this is hardly a problem . In fact , it accentuates the lavishly comic - book style and ironic wit of the whole film . During the first big fight with RoboCop — which involved a stuntman , of course , and at one point a tiny puppet of RoboCop — the action is so fast and furious that details hardly register . During the final confrontation , the comedy reaches its height as it emerges that , owing to a design oversight , ED 209 can not negotiate stairs . After frantic scrabbling , it falls ignominiously .
Idiom: few and far between (used idiomatically: yes)
A look at a player 's amateur record is some indication of her calibre , but even that is no certainty of success . Players with impeccable amateur records have struggled to make a living as professionals and no - one is quite sure why . It is noticeable that opportunities to play in 72-hole stroke play events on the amateur circuits are few and far between , whereas a professional will play week in and week out on the professional circuit . A good round followed by a poor one often means a missed cut , and it is very difficult to put two rounds together on consecutive days if you have not been used to doing so . The Tour tries to create opportunities by staging ‘ open - events’ and allotting places to amateurs invited by the sponsor or who qualify under the relevant handicap rules .
Idiom: few and far between (used idiomatically: yes)
Last year it nursed more than 1400 animals back to health . But it has to rely entirely on public donations . In this time of recession they 're becoming few and far between , and the centre 's future is in jeopardy . If the centre does close it 'll mean injured animals will have to be destroyed . Animals like this deer .
Idiom: beg the question (used idiomatically: yes)
Consequently , the above two journal entries could be condensed into one : Since there is only one cash book for the organization , cash does not pass from fund to fund and so is excluded from the journal entry . This practice does beg the question of how different cash figures are found for the different fund balance sheets when a single cash book is kept for the authority . The answer is that , in the process of producing final accounts , the cash amounts for each fund balance sheet are balancing figures . As long as the total of the balancing figures for each fund equals the balance on the cash book , then the accounts as a whole are in balance .
Idiom: on the rocks (used idiomatically: yes)
He made them sound like the Famous Five . Or the Woodentops . ' There 's nothing that vipers like more than basking on hot sunny rocks . ' All eyes were directed down the garden towards the pool . If the red sunset was anything to go by , those rocks would really have their work cut out next day to be anything less than either hot or sunny .
Idiom: to the hilt (used idiomatically: no)
Surface decoration was achieved by modelling and lost - wax casting , by repoussé work , the infill of champlevé work by gold or niello or by incising or punching designs . Once a craft like silversmithing was established there was scope for innovation as well as for the transmission of inherited skills . A good example is the way Mycenaean smiths anticipated Bolsover 's invention of Sheffield plate in 1743 in the way they capped the rivets used to secure dagger and sword blades to their hilts with silver . Silver caps were bonded with copper rivets by heating the two while held together under pressure . The rivets of personal weapons were capped with silver in order to make them better symbols of the superior power and prestige of their owners , not to render them more effective in actual warfare ( fig . 24 ) .
Idiom: hard cheese (used idiomatically: no)
' I 'm obviously very disappointed for the players , ' said the manager , Bobby Graham . ' Rochdale are just Mickey Mouse compared with Liverpool . ' Hard cheese . Darlington fared no better , but Welling , Gloucester , Bishop Auckland and Aylesbury will replay with brimming hopes and bursting hearts this week . Liverpool , the holders , get the chance to play European opposition , namely Swansea , who flirted briefly with the Cup Winners ' Cup this season , losing to Panathinaikos almost before they could pronounce it .
Idiom: on the button (used idiomatically: yes)
Then I 'll leave him in your custody . ' Spatz watched Tolonen go , then turned his attention to the boy . For a moment he was speechless , still too astonished to take in what it all meant , then he sat heavily and leaned forward , putting his hand down on the summons button . At once his assistant appeared in the doorway . ' Get Hammond in here , ' he said , noting the way his assistant 's eyes went to the boy .
Idiom: rough and ready (used idiomatically: yes)
If you are using a full 24 bit colour photo - retouching or vector graphics drawing program on a system which can only display 16 or 256 colours Windows will attempt to represent all the screen colours required . It does this by a process called dithering which takes two or more colours from the 16 or 256 colour palette available and places them side by side to give the impression of another colour . Whilst colour dithering enables the user to get a rough and ready idea of the true colours it is not really suitable for anyone involved in full colour work . This is the reason why graphics cards like the Magician and others have been developed . FAX BOX
Idiom: time will tell (used idiomatically: yes)
However , what I feel will be of interest to many rose gardeners , bearing in mind the many questions asked , is an explanation of terms like Hybrid Tea , Floribunda , Polyantha , and the rest . The Hybrid Tea ( abbreviated to H.T. ) is the type most gardeners regard as the epitome of all that a rose can and should be . Whether the bloom shape is the ultimate , only time will tell , for there have been other occasions in the development of the rose when a new type has been regarded as the last word . In recent years the H.T. has been grown more than any other , both as bush and standard , and such is the sublime beauty of the opening bud that H.T.s invariably take all the prizes at the shows . They are in such demand that we have the phenomenon of an industry geared to satisfying a craving for new varieties every year .
