Phrase of the Day (have (something) up one's sleeve)-05JAN22

Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is have (something) up one’s sleeve and it is a phrase meaning “to have a secret plan/idea/strategy that can be used when needed”.

Example Sentence: James Cameron, director of mighty box-office champs such as Titanic and Avatar has the answer: six-hour films! Films with the amplitude and the addiction factor of long-form TV. At first glance, that sounds like a buttock-annihilating nightmare, and a six-hour film from the alpha-gorilla Cameron is another worry. Six hours of Cameron’s cheerfully macho storytelling?… Or does Mr Cameron have a six-hour cut of Titanic up his sleeve?
