Hi again, thank you all for answering my question about the phrase ‘this shit is bananas’. I have another question, this time about an idiom: to keep on the wheat rather than the chaff

I suppose if you keep on the wheat rather than the chaff, you do a good job?

Thanks in advance and keep on rocking :slight_smile:

When you keep the wheat rather than the chaff, it usually means you’ve kept the good, productive people and gotten rid of the others.
