Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “leave someone or something in the dust” and its meaning is “to be much better than someone/something, especially someone you are competing with, to outdo or outperform someone/something easily & completely; to leave someone/something behind without helping/caring for them”.

Example Sentence:  Ready-meal delivery services are booming. They managed to make the recipes simple enough to follow without making for bland (tasteless) meals.
