Give sb an inch (and they'll take a mile) 得寸進尺

2012年11月16日 星期五

:" Give sb an inch and they'll take a mile." means if you say yes to sb for a small request, they will want much more. (in Chinese, this idiom is 得寸進尺,食髓知味)

Eg. I said Jerry could borrow my car occasionally, and then he started to borrow it every night! Give him an inch!
