Lesson 262--Pushing Buttons


 
In this high tech world, there are lots of buttons.  I think we need a short lesson on how to deal with them.

The verbs we use are:

push/press the button
hit the buttons

examples

After dialling, hit the green button.
Whenever he had to change the channel, he had to push/press at least ten buttons.

idioms

to push someone's buttons = to provoke a mood in people (good or bad)

examples

The boss hated Jeremy and knew how to push his buttons.
His wife's sexy lingerie really pushed his buttons.
In an argument, Maria could really push her boyfriend's buttons.
