English expression: To pick someone’s brains

By Admin 1 Comment

pick someones brains

To pick someone’s brains is a common English expression that we use when we want to get information from someone about a certain topic.

More often than not, someone will know more about a subject than you. You will need to ask that person to give you the information you need.

The meaning is to ask a person for advice about a subject that they have knowledge about.

Examples:

Can you help me with this problem? Let me pick you brain.

John will know the answer. I am going to pick his brain.
