Which Way Does the Wind Blow?
Did you know that the above expression is also an idiom? For example, someone might ask about how you are going to vote on the sales tax in the next election, and you might reply with, "I don't know. I'll see which way the wind is blowing." That means that you will wait on developments instead of making up your mind immediately.
Several idioms exist regarding the wind. Can you think of any in your own languages? Some others in English include a windfall (unexpected good luck), a windbag (someone who talks but doesn't act), to throw caution to the wind (to take bold action without considering personal danger), to get wind of (to hear of an imminent event before everyone else), long-winded (using several words when one would be enough.
