1--Here's an idiom about arguments, and legs. Not Have a Leg to Stand on
2--Let's listen to my friends talking, and using this American idiom:
1--At first, the insurance company didn't believe me,when I said the driver ran the red light before hitting my car.
2--But, there's a video that clearly showed his car going through the red light.
1--Oh, in that case, he doesn't have a leg to stand on!
2--He's going to have to pay to fix your car.
1--Not having a leg to stand on means a person does not have any evidence to support his or her argument.
2--Without evidence, your argument does not stand up under questioning because, if you think about it, not having a leg would make it difficult to stand.
