Living as I do in increasing cultural and geographical isolation, I need to work hard to keep my vocabulary up to date if I am to continue to understand spoken English. This morning a member said that someone called John was 'just phoning it in'. What does this expression mean? Does any one know how long it has been current? I left the UK in 2002 and I'd never heard it then, but that doesn't mean much.
