You may have heard this one before. A pipeline is a
large pipe that carries oil or gas over a long distance, often underground.
If something is in the pipeline, it is being planned
or developed.
EXAMPLES:
o
The
group has a new CD in the pipeline.
o
The
theatre company has several new productions in the pipeline for next
season.
o
Twenty-eight
lawsuits were filed this week, and another 200 cases are in the pipeline.
o
The
project has been in the pipeline since forever. I am not sure if it will
ever get completed.
o
I
am not working right now but have a few offers in the pipeline.
o
She
keeps telling me that her new book is in the pipeline but is she even
writing something right now?
o
My
mother's operation has been scheduled. Finally, it has been in the pipeline
for a very long time.
o
My
boss asked for an update about every project that is in the pipeline right
now. Is something going on that I don't know about?
