<upd_detl>-IMO, that's not really an expl gloss or if it is, it's unnecessary.

-As I previously requested, can we please hold off on batch entries (e.g., lists of bats, lists of idioms, etc.) until Jim comes back?  Otherwise, I have to approve all this stuff myself, which I don't have time for if I ever want to finish my PhD.  The alternative is to let a couple hundred amendments pile up to await Jim upon his return, and I don't think he really wants to deal with that upon his return either.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>I agree, it isn't necessary. (I didn't add it, just added an 
expl to it)

Sorry, but I didn't really do these as a batch though - I 
only made amendments to 15 idiomatic/proverb entries. 
Several of them were just changing [id] to [proverb], not a 
change that requires a great deal of double-checking.</upd_detl>

<upd_detl>i agree with removing "penny wise and pound foolish", but isn't the literal translation "wasting money on a cheap item"?</upd_detl>
