Help

Hi!

Could someone out there help me with the meanings of the following phrases:

-I'll stay out your hair
-Sticking out like a sore thumb

I think I know the meanings of the above, from usage...but...


Thanx much!

-Selvan

"I'll stay out of your hair" means: I won't bother you. I'll leave you alone to get on with your work (or whatever). I won't be a pest.

"Stick out like a sore thumb" means something or someone is obviously different from the rest of a group. So different that it is immediately noticed. "A man dressed in a business suit on a beach 'sticks out like a sore thumb.'"
