become uncontrollable · go too far
This expression is perfect for describing a situation that started normally but then escalated beyond control. 😬 Maybe a party got too loud, or a discussion turned into an argument! It's when things become too difficult to manage.
💡 **Heads up!** This idiom implies that something went from manageable to unmanageable. It's often used when things go wrong, but not always in a super negative way. For example, 'The kids' playdate got a little out of hand with all the sugar!' It means it became chaotic but not necessarily disastrous. Just a bit wild!
Which situation is most appropriate for using 'get out of hand'? A. 🗣️ A quiet discussion among friends suddenly becomes a loud argument. B. 🌳 You are carefully planting flowers in your garden. C. 📚 You are quietly reading a book in the library.
