Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “keep one’s head above water“ and its meaning is “to just be able to survive (and avoid getting into difficulties); manage, survive, get through”.
Example Sentence: Floods have hit Pakistan just as soon as the COVID-19 pandemic has eased… What has come as some relief to the country is the $1.17 billion Extended Fund Facility approved by the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF’s) executive board. Shortly before the IMF announcement, Qatar too announced that it would invest $3 billion in Pakistan. All this will allow Pakistan to keep its head above the water, but common people want relief from a continuous increase in fuel, electricity and food prices.
