Dear teachers,
Would you tell me whether I am right with my interpretation of the expression in bold in the following sentences?
The program for rebuilding the city died on the vine.
...the Governor's proposal to reduce the State debt was "dying on the vine". (Manchester Guardian Weekly)
die on the vine = to fail or collapse in the planning stages
Thank you for your efforts.
Regards,
V
