📔 a bridge too far
📋Meaning
cliché An act or plan whose ambition overreaches its capability, resulting in or potentially leading to difficulty or failure. Taken from the 1974 book A Bridge Too Far by Cornelius Ryan, which details the Allies' disastrous attempts to capture German-controlled bridges in the Netherlands during World War II.
🤔For example ⬇️
🗣The multi-million-dollar purchase of the small startup proved a bridge too far for the social media company, as the added revenue couldn't make up for the cost in the end.
🗣Look, I'm happy to help you guys out, but I'm not willing be the primary investor in your invention—that's just a bridge too far.Apparently, signing an A-list player is just a bridge too far for this team! They'd rather wallow in their mediocrity, I guess.

📔 canary in a/the coal mine
📋Meaning
Something or someone who, due to sensitivity to his, her, or its surroundings, acts as an indicator and early warning of possible adverse conditions or danger. Refers to the former practice of taking caged canaries into coal mines. The birds would die if methane gas became present and thereby alert miners to the danger.
🤔For example ⬇️
🗣Wildlife in disaster movies assumes the role of the canary in the coal mine, fleeing the scene when catastrophe is imminent.
🗣Unaware that he had been given the test drug, John was used as a canary in the coal mine to see its effects on the human mind.
