10:45 AM Ducks in a row | |
To get your ducks in a row means to organise your things well. It's American English. Examples: With the recession looming, the government has to get its ducks in a row and invest in job creation. The company's owner has given his managers a few days to get their ducks in a row. If they don't improve their performance he'll fire them. Take noteIf someone is described as a sitting duck it means they are vulnerable to criticism or attack. Example: The platoon ended up behind enemy lines. With no reinforcements from Central Command they were sitting ducks. | |
