Every Saturday I’ll give you a couple of idioms to learn. An idiom is a saying or phrase whose meaning cannot be taken from the literal meanings of the words.
finger in the pie: be involved in something
Example:
The owner has his finger in the pie in all the day-to-day operation of the company. He really needs to relax and let his plant manager take on more responsibility.
in the works: being planned or developed
Example:
We have several prototypes in the works for some new products we’re planning on launching this fall.
