Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is waste one’s breath and it is a phrase meaning “talk (to someone) in vain; give advice to someone without success, because no one will listen”.
Example Sentence: For a party whose president had already threatened not to leave the White House in the event of an electoral defeat, more suspensions of the norm will be attempted: the stakes are too high and the time before polling day too short to waste a single breath on humility.
This phrase is present in The Guardian article The lesson in Trump catching Covid: all the lies in the world can’t hold reality at bay and click here to read it.
