Touch (one's) forelock phrase
Show excessive respect for a person in a superior position
My colleages always touch the boss' forelock but I don't want to do so.
He has found it weird that everyone seemed to touch their forelock when speaking to him since he became the president.
The verb "touch" must be conjugated according to its tense.
This phrase refers to the act of pulling the hair above the forehead instead of taking off one's hat to show respect.
Do you see anything wrong?
Daughter: So I really want all my friends to have a great time. I was thinking it would be a good idea to have some candy out on the tables for people to snack on.
Mother: Well, if you want them to really enjoy themselves, candy is dandy but liquor is quicker.
