Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is fall/slip through the cracks and it is a phrase meaning “be forgotten, be overlooked; fail to be noticed, pay no attention; go unnoticed; go undealt with, lack sufficient attention”.
Example Sentence: In familial structures, exercise is not considered a priority. Except for a few families, most families do not teach their children about exercise. While parents stress the importance of education and health, exercise somehow slips through the cracks. It does not even garner the importance that eating vegetables does. Parents do not model behaviour by exercising or trying to stay fit, and playing a sport is considered a waste of time after a certain age.
