Each week of 2017 we present an English idiom.
“to let sleeping dogs lie”: to not talk about something that might be a problem which people have either forgotten about or don’t know about; keine schlafenden Hunde wecken
Example 1: If no one has brought it up, it might be best to let sleeping dogs lie.
Example 2: We could let sleeping dogs lie, or we could deal with the matter of the dress code directly and finally resolve it.
