Today’s “Word of the Day” is coast (through/to) and it is a verb meaning “to progress or achieve success with very little effort or very easily”.
Example Sentence: As it became pressingly clear that new social restrictions will be needed to ensure schools can reopen, and ever more urgent that the furlough (temporary leave) is extended, the British prime minister Boris Johnson preferred to coast through stupid photocalls (a time for press photographers to take photos of a famous person) at a gym and a building site. This is not good enough.
