Meat Idioms

If you have a beef with someone you have a problem with them, this could be an argument or a grudge from past behaviour. A person asking you what your problem is might say “What’s your beef?”.

If a person is described as a meat and potatoes person they just like ordinary things. They don’t really like fancy, strange, or exotic things.

If you stop a habit suddenly or abruptly you are going cold turkey. For example, we may say this of a person who quits smoking cigarettes completely.

If you chew the meat and spit out the bones, you sort information, keeping the good and getting rid of the bad.
