Dear teachers,
Would you be kind enough to give me your considered opinion concerning the interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
Any judge – who a up to snuff – would impound that document … (A. Coppard, “Tales”)
up to snuff = quick-witted
You won’t deceive Braddon easily; he’s quite up to snuff.
up to snuff = an old hand, a knowing blade
