What is an example sentence for the idiomatic expression 'penny wise found foolish'?
The elderly woman liked to espouse idioms such as "a penny wise pound foolish." Note that the word is not found, but pound. A pound refers to the British money system.One meaning of the idiom is someone who will pinch a penny over stupid matters, such as arguing over the price of chicken at the butcher, but foolishly throws away good money in get rich schemes. For example, a woman spends a high amount on a lavish dress, believing she will meet a rich suitor at a party, which is unlikely to happen. But the same woman complains and refuses to buy her children milk when the price goes up by 2-cents.It is important to realize this idiom goes back to British rule, and perhaps even older than the American colonies. So it is no wonder that schoolchildren in America do not understand the reference to "pound" as money (which the colonists used under British rule), and that kids today try to substitute some other word to make the expression have mean something (such as mistakenly thinking the word is found or sound.)
