boot is on the other foot |
0.06 sec. |
|
the boot is on the other foot (British & Australian, American) if you say that the boot is on the other foot, you mean that a situation is now the opposite of what it was before, often because a person who was in a weak position is now in a strong position. In the past, we had great influence over their economy, but the boot is on the other foot now. |

It's not that Browser is institutionally opposed to reactionary sites, well it is a bit, it is just that having whinged for all those years about people who hated modern architecture you discover the boot is on the other foot and it's dear old Quinlan Terry and the younger Robert Adam (no not a ghostly visitation but the unrelated bloke down at Winchester) who are whingeing about everybody being unappreciative of their essays in classical styling. |
