Craig – English for today
Lenka: So did you ask the boss for a raise?
Lukas: I couldn´t get past "how are you".
I went into the office and I got cold feet. I was all set to ask him nicely and show him that I deserved it but I lost my nerve at the last moment.
Lenka: That´s a shame. How did it end?
Lukas: He thanked me for my visit, I smiled and left.
Lenka: Beautiful performance. You should write a textbook on office etiquette.

Never lifts a finger
Lukas: How is your new boyfriend?
Lenka: We split up last week.
Lukas: You split up? But I thought you were living together. I thought this time it was really serious.
Lenka: It was until I realized he is a lazy bum. I do all the work around the flat and he never lifts a finger to help me do anything. So I threw his clothes out the window and kicked him out.
Lukas: Another one bites the dust.
Lenka: That´s right.
Dictionary:
Never lifts a finger: Never does anything to help me.
