[quote=SNOWBIRD ,15482]The correct english idiom is :"A miss is as good as a mile"The meaining is that it does not matter how miss or lose the objective, the end result is still the same. You still miss or lose the objective.There are many ways to use this idiom in everyday life.....for example :1. In a lucky draw, if you miss by just 1 number you will not win the price. It is the same as missing all the numbers. So you can say, a miss is as good as a mile.2. In football, if the ball misses the goalpost by 1 centimetre it is the same as missing the goalpost by a mile. The ball still did not go in. 3. You ran very fast to try to catch the bus but you miss it by 1 minute. Next bus is 30 minutes later. You miss the bus by 30 minutes. So a miss is as good as a mile. [/quote]
