Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “raise one’s eyebrows“ and it is a phrase meaning “to show that you are feeling surprised (or) to show your disapproval”.
Example Sentence: One in eight Britons claim to be vegetarian or vegan and another one in five flexitarian, eating meat-free sometimes; and although meat consumption rose over the last decade the big rise was in chicken, not red meat.

This phrase is present in The Guardian article The low-hanging fruit in the climate battle? Cutting down on meat and click here to read it.
