MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY

The phrase “my way or the highway” indicates that you must accept the speaker’s decision or leave – it’s generally said by or about someone who doesn’t believe in negotiating!


MY WAY OR THE HIGHWAY


 Examples of use:

 “New Notts County boss Harry Kewell says it’s my way or the highway

 “It is not just O’Grady who has been on the receiving end of the disdainful ‘I’m the boss and it’s my way or the highway’ stance that May has taken up to this point.”

 “All engineering is compromise and I’ve never had a problem with adapting my work style to the particular requirements of a company, although I have worked with one or two people who appear to have a ‘my way or the highway’ attitude – something that’s always struck me as being rather arrogant and a little short sighted.”
