Is "I'm in it" the same as "I'm serious" ?
Færd

No context?
No, then.
Shafizadeh
no
ah ok
Færd
I think it can mean something along the lines of "I'm involved in this matter", depending on the context.
Just one of the many possibilities.
.
COCA gives no more than five results for
pick holes in
. Is it a strange idiom to Americans?

@Færd It sounds okay.
Færd
What do you think the literal meaning is?
Pick a hole in something
is said
to mean: "to make a hole in something by pulling it with your fingers".
It would make sense if they were related.

@Færd Dunno. I think I might say
poke holes
instead, myself.
Færd
Hm. Thanks.
