Idiom: Go cold turkey
Example:
Frank: I’m thinking
about quitting fast food.
Aaron: That’s really good. It’s
really unhealthy to eat fried food every day.
Frank: Yeah, I’m going cold turkey. No transition period.
Aaron: Wow! That’s
difficult. I usually cut some foods
slowly. I can’t give up food I like all
at once.
Meaning: Go cold turkey is an
expression used when someone stops doing something without a transition
period. It’s a very sudden stop to an
action or habit.
