Today’s episode is for August 24, 2020. Today's phrase is ‘on the back of an envelope’. When you do something on the back of an envelope you write down the gist or major points of a plan and work on the details later.

There was another word I mentioned today, which may or may be new to you: Gist. If you understand the gist of something you understand the most important information but you do not know the details of it. https://www.artisanenglish.jp/debate-and-discussion-online/word-of-the-day-gist/
