A: Welcome to English in a Minute!
"Kick the can" was the name of a children's game that became popular in the 1930s.
J: Kick the can down the road
Have you found a new apartment yet?
A: No, I've just been paying rent at my same old place one month at a time ...
J: You do know you have to get away from that roommate of yours, right?
You are just kicking the can down the road, Anna.
A: I know, Jonathan, I know.
But right now, looking for a new apartment is more stressful than she is.
J: To "kick the can down the road" means to avoid dealing with a difficult situation or making a hard decision until later.
For example, Anna does not want to begin looking for a new apartment.
So she just kicks the can down the road, every month!
And that's English in a Minute.
