Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is go without saying and its meaning is “be obvious that it does not need to be said or explained; be self-evident, be understood, be accepted“.
Example Sentence: Courts in Turkey generally bow to the wishes of the country’s authoritarian president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. This is unsurprising, given his purges of judges and prosecutors during his two decades in power. So last week’s court verdict sentencing Istanbul’s popular opposition mayor, Ekrem İmamoğlu,…followed a familiar pattern. That this decision was politically motivated goes without saying… In short, a working-class populist who began life as a reformer fighting for social justice has developed into a cantankerous, dictatorial bully.
