9:42 AM Go under the knife | |
To go under the knife means to have an operation. Examples: England's best footballer won't play at the World Cup. He's going under the knife and won't recover in time for the start of the tournament. I had tonsillitis eight times before doctors decided that I needed to go under the knife and have my tonsils removed. Take noteDon't confuse this expression with put to the sword. That phrase means to kill something. Example: The captured soldiers should have been kept in a military prison but instead they were put to the sword. Hundreds were killed. | |
