Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “read the tea leaves“ and its meaning is “predict what will happen in the future from small signs; guess the future”.
Example Sentence: The reality is that much of Russia’s advanced weaponry has not been employed in the Ukraine conflict — for reasons best known to the Kremlin — and, hence, the West should not read the ‘tea leaves’ wrongly, and write off Russia’s military strength, lest it encourages misguided elements to embark on any hazardous ‘misadventure’.
