Hello,I want to ask that we usually tell others do not" put your finger in the pie."
Can I say " put my finger in the pie ."
Or" none of my business." "none of our business".
Is it ok to change on the saying?
Thanks!!
You can use any possessive adjective you want!
Hi,

Hi
Thank you Bobk
But I mean, what 'put your finger in the pie' means?
If I'd met it, I'd think it meant 'interfere'. But I tend to hear the 'pie' metaphor used chiefly in a descriptive way: "There are lots of people with fingers in that pie" [='lots of people are involved/have an interest in it']. I wouldn't mention "pie" at all if I wanted to say 'Don't interfere'. I'd say something like 'Mind your own business' or 'Keep your nose out [of other people's business]'.
