Maxine |
You don't look too cheerful, what's the matter ? |
Jeanie |
I've just moved in with a new roommate and she smokes quite a lot. |
Maxine |
Oh dear, that's not very healthy for either of you. You should have
a word with her about it. |
Jeanie |
I know, but I don't want to offend her, she's very nice otherwise. |
Maxine |
Look, it's so important that you'll just have to
take the bull by the horns and
suggest that she smoke outside. |
Jeanie |
Well, I'll think about it. |

Explanation : |

If you take the
bull by the horns, you do something that you feel you
ought to do even though it is difficult, dangerous, or unpleasant. |
