Sam’s Save the Idiom Quest II

Turn A Blind Eye

Meaning: ignore wrongdoing

Interestingly enough, it is thought to have been coined in 1798. What a time to be alive…

I spoke with a French student who said it was usual for the French to discuss politics all the time; they debate in line for a coffee, waiting for a train, over dinner or at lunchtime.

I said I’d always lived in countries where that was taboo. Weather and holidays were the topic du jour.

She told me I should move to France and stop being gaslit.

I agreed!
