1, The big picture 

The big picture means to look at the overall view of something, or the situation as a whole and not the details.

For example:

• “I think his presentation was too long and detailed. He should’ve just given us the big picture.

2, In a nutshell

Have you seen a nutshell? Think of how small it is and how little it can hold. So, in a nutshell means in summary, or in as few words as possible.

For example:

• “This book is about successful businesspeople and how they reached the top. In a nutshell, it’s about how to grow a successful business.”

3, Gray area 

The color gray is between black and white. When something is in a gray area, it means the situation isn’t certain. In a gray area there are no clear rules and it’s difficult to say if it’s right or wrong.

For example:

• “You have many good points in your proposal but there’s one gray areawe need to discuss.”

4, Red tape 

Nobody likes to encounter red tape when they’re trying to do their work. Red tape refers to excessive regulations and rules that you need to comply with before you can get your work done.

For example:

This phrase refers to a total misunderstanding of a situation, plan or idea.

For example:

• “Jackie’s not in charge of this project… Mark is. Seems like you got the wrong end of the stick.”

If you are given your walking papers, it means you have received a notice that you are being fired or laid off from your job.

For example:

• “Did you hear? The boss just gave Brett his walking papers!”

Back to square one simply means to start over, or to go back to the beginning.

For example:

• “I wish I’d saved my spreadsheet before the server crashed. Now I have to go back to square one.”

8, Call it a day 

When your work has been completed for the day, or when you decide to stop working on an activity, you can call it a day.
