I bet the butcher that he couldn’t reach the meat on the top shelf. He refused to take the bet because the steaks were too high.

This is an example of an idiom.

An idiom that has a different meaning than what it sounds like.

It doesn’t actually mean that the steak is high. “The steaks were too high” simply means that it’s too dangerous/risky.


Hope this helps!
