WORTH-3: meaning and examples
Good morning.
Today's expression is: not to be worth the paper it's written/printed on
Meaning: used to describe an agreement or official document that, in your opinion, has no value, either legally or because you don't trust one or more of the people involved.
Example 1:
Be careful. That contract isn't worth the paper it's written on. All of the signatures are false!
Example 2:
I would not accept a cheque from that man. I know his business is not going well. Even if he writes you a cheque, it wouldn't be worth the paper it's printed on.
Have a great day!
