Involvement and interest
not be your cup of tea
If something is not your cup of tea, you do feel very interested or enthusiastic about it.
I've never been the greatest traveller. Sitting for hours on motorways is not really my cup of tea.
Note: You can also say that something or someone is your cup o f tea when you like them or feel interested in them.
I don't have much time for modern literature. Shakespeare's more my cup of tea.
have an axe to grind
If someone has an axe to grind, they have particular attitudes about something, often because they think they have been treated badly or because they want to get an advantage.
Note: One possible explanation for this expression is a story told by the American scientist and inventor
Benjamin Franklin (1706-90) about a man who managed to get his own axe sharpened without paying by asking a boy to show him how his father’s grindstone (=a round stone used for sharpening metal tools or weapons) worked.
It would be best if an independent agency, that doesn't have an axe to grind, could deal with this case.
Note: You can also say that you have no axe to grind to deny that your strong opinions about something are based on personal reasons.
The unions insist they have no axe to grind, because they will represent workers wherever they are based.
in the picture
If someone is in the picture, they are involved in the situation you are talking about.
We were a great team. I was kept in the picture from the beginning.
jump on the bandwagon
If someone jumps on the bandwagon, they suddenly become involved in an activity because it is likely to succeed or it is fashionable.
Note: In American elections in the past, political rallies (=large public meetings) often included a band playing on a horse-drawn wagon (-a covered vehicle pulled by horses). Politicians sat on the wagon and those who wanted to show their support climbed on it.
There will always be people ready to jump on the bandwagon and start classes in whatever is fashionable, with little or no training.
Note: Verbs such as climb, get and leap are sometimes used instead of jump. These expressions are usually used in a disapproving way.
A lot of people are climbing on the bandwagon of selling financial services to women.
keep a low profile
If someone keeps a low profile, they avoid doing things that will make people notice them.
The president continues to keep a low profile on vacation in Maine.
Note: You can also use low-profile before a noun.
There is no need for the presence of any police officers. This is a low-profile event.
a labour of love
A labour of love is a task that you do because you enjoy it or feel strongly that it is worth doing.
They restored the Victorian greenhouse, an expensive labour of love.
