Toast = A person receiving much attention or acclaim ?
Context:
China does not have an independent police or judicial system; party leaders order investigations. “It’s a very politicized process,” says Minxin Pei, a professor at Claremont McKenna College in California and author of numerous studies on corruption in China. “If your patrons do not protect you, you’re toast.”
It's a slang expression
you are finished ,done, not needed = You're toast
@roger,
and in a jam
no sense buttering anyone up either.
A good usage. I will like it.
Thank you all.
@oristarA,
Use it once too often in the same group, and you are toast.
@oristarA,
I might use that, myself.
Stumble It!
