WHEN PUSH COMES TO SHOVE

Hi there,

"When push comes to shove"

I get asked a lot what this expression means. It simply means that if a situation gets really bad, you have to do what you have to do. An example might help you understand it.

e.g. When push comes to shove, we'll have to sell our dinner table to buy dinner.

Well, let me know if you are able to use this expression now.

Thanks a lot for your question, Lamara.

Take care.
