Take It With A Grain Of Salt
To not completely believe something; to be skeptical about the truth or accuracy of a statement.
Examples
- The client promised a miracle turnaround, so I told the team to take that with a grain of salt.
- He said he'd be here by noon — take it with a grain of salt, he’s always late.
- When my cousin brags about getting rich overnight, I smile and take it with a grain of salt.
