A flood will be inevitable if the storm doesn't start to taper off soon.

Were you able to figure out the meaning?









Taper off means to cease by degrees.

RIGHT OFF THE BAT

I can't get her phone number right off the bat, but I can get it for you soon.

Did you get the meaning?

Right off the bar means immediately. It is believed to have something to do with the speed of a baseball being hit.

Hey, dudes

Pull something off means to acomplish something successfully; especially something that is somewhat difficult.

If the stadiums in the capitals are not built, the Euro 2012 will go to neither country. What’s amazing and to the host countries’ credit, the reaction was swift coming only two days later, and united making me wonder that Poland and Ukraine just might pull this off - to become the first former communist countries to host a Euro championship.
