Idiom of the Day:

“Rub elbows”

This idiom is about trying to

take advantage of an opportunity. If you are going to “rub elbows” with someone, it means that you are going to be in close contact with someone influential. They could be someone powerful, wealthy, or famous. The intention here is that perhaps you will get an opportunity to elevate your status with this new connection somehow.

“I can’t go out tonight. I need to rub elbows with the CEO and the board. This might be my opportunity to get a significant promotion.”

    This doesn't relate with anything though, your voice sounds like the guidance of English tests we usually listen to. I felt like I was taking a listening test lol

    It is too bad that I don’t know how to rub elbows with bosses. I feel awkward talking to them casually.
