Till the cows come home.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct meaning of the idiom "Till the cows come home" is “for a very long, indefinite amount of time”

This idiom is used to describe an action that will continue for a very long period, often indefinitely or until an unspecified point far in the future.

The phrase likely refers to the fact that cows are slow-moving animals that take their time grazing and may not return to the barn for milking until they are ready, which can feel like a very long wait.

"We could sit here and argue about politics till the cows come home, but it’s not going to change anyone's mind."
