Ever almost brought up an old argument... and stopped yourself just in time?
That's exactly what let sleeping dogs lie is for.
What it means:
To avoid bringing up an old problem or argument that would only cause more trouble.
In real life:
"Should I bring up the argument we had last year?" "No โ just let sleeping dogs lie."
Quick tip:
Use this when something is already over and digging it back up would only make things worse. Not every old conflict deserves a second round.
Cards in this set:
- ๐พ Literal scene โ a character tip-toeing around a snoozing dog (the image that makes the idiom stick)
- ๐ Definition card โ eggplant-purple bold typography with the plain-English meaning
- ๐ฌ Natural example โ two friends on a couch, showing the idiom in a real conversation
