"off on his/her hobby-horse again" Explanation: This is just one stab at it in English. Not a bad guess on your part, but the meaning is more like someone is talking about a subject they are always talking about, hence it is highly predictable - so what's Granny talking about? Doughnuts again! "Hobby-horse" was a phrase that came to mind, but there must be a better one! |
