Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “take a leaf out of someone’s book“ and its meaning is “to imitate/follow someone; copy, reproduce, mimic, mirror, echo, model oneself on, take as a model, take as an example”.
Example Sentence: Propaganda, it is said, is best delivered when it doesn’t appear to be so. But that is passé given the brazen display of animosity in films such as Vivek Agnihotri’s The Kashmir Files. Sudipto Sen, director of The Kerala Story, seems to have taken a leaf out of Mr. Agnihotri’s style book. It could be that the audience these films address demands that the message be served in an unapologetically crass (insensitive) manner.
