American English Business Idioms

For better or worse, the American workplace is full of idioms.

People don’t begin a project. They “get a project off the ground.”

They don’t call each other to discuss progress – they “touch base.”

Later, if the project is not going well, they don’t end it. They “pull the plug.”

After getting to know the idioms, listen for them in everyday conversations and look out for them in newspapers and magazines.
