Usage
Expression: money under his shoes/shoe soles
"He might have money hidden under his shoes."
or perhaps even something like:
"He might have money hidden under his shoe soles."
or maybe
"He might have money hidden under his socks."
As much as I would like to I cannot remember the
exact expression. As a matter of fact when I heared it I was left somewhat perplexed as I did not really grasp the meaning of what was being said precisely.
I wonder if someone could shed some light on
this or perhaps similar expressions.
Yeah, in fact there was this one and another person another time used the expression "poker faced"
which also confused me, but at least I was now
able to find that one in the dictionary, although
at the time it just didn't occur to me that the
combination of these two words could have
had a specific meaning.
Anyways, thank you for your help,
John Goche
