I'm at an absolute loss as to why the adoptive parents haven't been jailed yet.
And even drove an SUV...I don't think I've EVER seen an elderly woman drive an SUV. Not saying it doesn't happen, but I've just never seen it. They are hard for the elderly to get into.
Well, here's the thing. To flesh out the details regarding the fraud, they can ask all sorts of questions regarding the whereabouts of the child. The fraud is tied into her not being at home anymore, so all of that would be relevant, I think. A grand jury investigation can be pretty broad.
funny... I've never once heard the term "flesh out" until CP said it in re: erica...
flush out (as in game or getting at something hidden) is common where I am from.
Flesh out not so much, but I have heard them used interchangeably.
People sometimes use them interchangeably, but they aren't really. Flush out means more like to force someone or something out of hiding. Flesh out means to clarify, add details, or add meaning to.
Yes, and you used "flesh out" correctly, in your post above -- but I think CP used "flesh out" when she was intending the meaning of "flush out", and some thought it sounded kind of creepy in that context. I think it was something about trying to "flesh out" Erica.
Oh, I can see how that would sound creepy, but it was probably just ignorance. People misuse idioms and such all the time. It's a pet peeve of mine lol.
