The English We Speak: No leg to stand on

Podcast cover

Learning English Conversations

This BBC Learning English podcast episode focuses on explaining the idiom "no leg to stand on." Two hosts, Feifei and Georgie, discuss the idiom's meaning, providing examples of its usage in different contexts. The hosts illustrate the idiom's meaning, explain its grammatical usage (with "have" or "have got"), and introduce a related phrase, "no legs," to describe a weak argument. The podcast incorporates examples from BBC Learning English colleagues and concludes with a recap of the idiom's meaning and usage. The podcast is interspersed with advertisements for Amazon Music and Manage Agile.
