| George |
Our new marketing manager is absolutely hopeless. |
| Olivia |
I'm not surprised, I've been hearing from other people that he's
pretty incompetent. |
| George |
Yes and it's not only his ideas that are no good, but the ways he
tries to get us to put them into practice. They just don't work. |
| Olivia |
That must make life very difficult. |
| George |
It does, but it's even worse. He tries to put the blame for failure
on us, but we're determined not to carry
the can for his mistakes. |
| Olivia |
Why should you ? It's his responsibility. |
|
| Explanation : |
| |
|
If you have to
carry the can , you have to take all the blame for something |
|
|
|
Example : She earns less
than her boss, but has to carry the can
for his errors. |
