nose to the grindstone Explanation: in complement to sue's answer, it also means too busy to look from side to side -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 9 mins (2006-08-30 10:37:49 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- guidon is the handlebars of a bike, so it could also mean top speed like when you put your nose to it to minimise wind drag |
