Idioms, what do they mean?
If you are going to use idioms, especially in writing, be sure you know what they mean, or you might end up with egg on your face.
Look them up at The Idiom Dictionary.
Quote:
(with) bated breath
agog with excitement, worry, etc. to the point that one’s breath has stopped (abated)
Example- He stood there behind the curtain with bated breath, too frightened to move an inch.
