  1. That’s a typical busy-bee expression although this is news to me. I suppose the intermediate learners should guess what it means on the spot; of course BEFORE using dics.

  2. Thanks for your comment Ed. What do you mean by ‘busy-bee expression’? I know the term ‘busy-bee’ and use it often, but not in combination with ‘expression’. I look forward to your thoughts!
