Here's an expression that confuses many readers!

🛠 The jury is still out

🍯 What does this mean?

We say the jury is still out when a decision about something hasn't been made.

Examples:

🔺Will the new movie be a success? The jury's still out!

🔺The jury's on who will be the next opener for India is still out.

Origin: In many legal trials, the result of the trial isn't known until a jury has finished discussing the case and returned to the courtroom. Until then, we say that "the jury is still out".
