Idiom.
Hello! Could you help me with this idiom? I don't unerstand . It is "half as good as it gets". What does it mean? I heard it in a song. It said "I'm half as good as it gets"
Top answer
The songwriter was trying to be clever, and half succeeded. "As good as it gets" is a figure of speech which means just what it says, that it is so good that it is impossible for it to be better. "Half as good as it gets", I suppose, means just that, except that half infinity is still infinity.
