The ins and outs


Today’s Idiom: the ins and outs

Meaning: all the details

Usage: She has been doing the job for decades; she knows the ins and outs of the job.

Wrong Usage: She has been doing the job for decades; she knows the in and out of the job.

General Note: It is not the in and out. It is rather the ins and outs. In and out are pluralized.
