Let's consider an example. eg I can't go to Mexico at the drop of a hat. This means I can't go to Mexico immediately / I can't rush off to Mexico.

  • Let's consider an example.
  • eg I can't go to Mexico at the drop of a hat.
  • This means I can't go to Mexico immediately / I can't rush off to Mexico.
  • In translating, I suggest you translate the meaning and forget about translating the idiom literally.
  • In other words, don't start talking about hats!
