This idiom means to gradually or subtly force someone out of a position or situation, often unfairly. An example given is a manager trying to edge an employee out of a position to make room for a friend, or a company replacing senior employees with lower-paid, younger staff.
This idiom refers to knowing something thoroughly or having complete knowledge about it. The speaker illustrates this with watching a movie so many times that one knows it inside out, and studying American idioms frequently to know them inside out.
'Wall-to-wall' describes something that completely fills an entire area. While often used for carpet, it's also used to describe places crowded with people, such as department stores on Black Friday or concert halls packed with screaming fans.
To 'lean into something' means to pursue a task or activity with great effort and determination. The host provides an example of a team being told to lean into a challenging project with enthusiasm and someone leaning into their English studies by watching many YouTube videos.
To 'pin down something' means to find out something with certainty or to define something clearly. Examples include scientists trying to pin down the precise cause of a virus and police attempting to pin down the exact time of a robbery.
