Hello everybody I think this is my first post here. I'm having a hard time with this idiom: drive something into the ground. I've heard it used during an episode of an American web series. The full sentence is: "you inherited this fine financial institution, and then drove it into the ground".
Apparently the meaning of it should be like "you destroyed it/ruined it", but when I looked it up in the dictionary, I found out another meaning: to talk too much about something. Which one is correct?
thank you!
