Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “break new ground” and it is a phrase meaning “to do something new, especially something never before attempted/tried by anyone; to do something innovative; to do something entirely different; pioneer, blaze a trail”.
Example Sentence: In his latest film (Parallel Mothers), released in the UK this week, Pedro Almodóvar breaks new ground in a career that began as Spain started to transition to democracy in the late 1970s. Until now, the great director’s work has virtually ignored the dark decades of dictatorship under General Francisco Franco. “It was my way of getting revenge on him,” he explained to the Guardian last week. “But it didn’t mean to say I’d forgotten.”
