MEANING OF A PHRASE
|
I HAVE DOWNLOADED ONE WORKSHEET ABOUT PHRASAL VERBS WITH SET AND PUT BUT THERE IS AN EXPRESSION WHICH SAYS "PUT ONE �S TEETH ON EDGE" AND I DON �T KNOW WHAT IT MEANS. IF ANYBODY KNOWS, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!!!!

Hi Jessica,
I was curious as well after reading your post. I looked it up on Google and found the following:
set or put one �s teeth on edge,| a. | to induce an unpleasant sensation. |
| b. | to repel; irritate: The noise of the machines sets my teeth on edge. |
I hope that helps you,
Joe |

Hi
A noise which really puts my teeth on edge is when one scrapes a fingernail on the blackboard or a pain of glass. Just thinking about it gives me the grils. (shivers)
Enjoy.
