SPORTS/TEAM IDIOMS (TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM) : meaning and examples
Happy Friday, Daily Vitamin readers! I hope you've had a wonderful week and have enjoyed our Sports/Team Related Expressions.
We are ending this week with the expression TO TAKE ONE FOR THE TEAM.
Definition: To willingly sacrifice something for the benefit of others.
Example 1: Thank you for working late tonight so that Steve could go to his daughter's performance. You really took one for the team.
Example 2: Dan is taking one for the team: he will stay sober and drive everyone home after the wedding.
That's all for this week. Next week, we will continue celebrating the Winter Olympics and look at Idioms with the word "Win."
Have a great weekend!
