This means avoiding talking about something.

[quote="pupil"]Hello Alan! I didn't understand at all this sentence:
Test No. incompl/inter-70 "How to criticize", question 5
There's really no virtue of me in pussy ......... around because I might as well tell you it's awful.
(a) treading (b) footing (c) walking (d) tripping
Test No. incompl/inter-70 "How to criticize", answer 5
There's really no virtue of me pussy footing around because I might as well tell you it's awful.
Correct answer: (b) footing
There was originally "of me" what I considered to be correct, and now is "in me" in this test. Why?
Regards  |

There's really no virtue in me pussyfooting around because I might as well tell you it's awful.
The above one is my question. Sorry, I've forgotten to log. |

| What is a "losing game"? Is it an idiom? | How do we use the verb "prefer to"? |
