rip the band-aid off
Hello, everyone. I just listen to CNN News. There is an idiom '' rip the band-aid off '' that I don't understand what its meaning is. Could you explain it to me? . Thanks a million
Top answer
A band-aid is a dressing for a cut or sore. Sometimes the band-aid is painful to remove because the little hairs on your skin are stuck to it. If you take it off slowly, the pain lasts a long time.
