Welcome to English in a Minute!
High and dry are both common adjectives. But what does the idiom “high and dry” mean? Let’s find out.
D: If you know of anyone who needs a room in a great apartment, let me know.
A: I thought you had a roommate. What happened?
D: He left me high and dry. I came home the other night, and he was just gone.
A: Speaking of leaving you high and dry, I can’t help with your party tonight. Sorry.
D: What is with people!?
High and dry means to leave someone in a tough situation or to make life difficult for them. Usually this happens because you neglect to do something you were supposed to do.
And that’s English in a Minute.
