$ U0 F" `4 k) o( u* w9 CI looked the phrase up in Freedictionary.com and came out empty-handed, too. ( v5 B- z. V6 t- ]2 E6 R7 m
' s' p+ K' K- D5 c$ p9 @8 m' L( DBut the idea in these two statements is very clear in and of itself, isn't it? Here a few other words or phrases can take the place of "pick up" without chaning its meaning, like "see, witness" or "gain" or even "harvest", but maybe "pick up" is a bit more vivid because it conjours up the image of a snowplough at work. Don't you think so?
