Idiom.

"Keep a weather eye."

Keep a weather eye on something/someone (British & Australian):
To watch something or someone carefully, because they may cause trouble or they may need help. I'd like you to keep a weather eye on the situation and report any major developments to me at once.

(Intransitive, idiomatic) To remain vigilant and alert; to keep watch.

This phrase has nautical roots.



There you go Lynette! I didn't just pull that one out of my, uh, hat.

Suleman said to me while he was here: "Idioms, similes, met-aphors...tell me some more idioms, similes, and metaphors for my gi-als."

He loved my one-liners. "Your eyes are like the stars in the heavens." Evidently, so did the little 14-year olds he was mackin' on!

Good job on your homework. Now I don't think you were smoking crack. A+!!
