TODAY'S IDIOM: THE JURY IS STILL OUT

"THE JURY IS STILL OUT" 

We can say the jury is still out when a decision still hasn't been made about something.

Example: It was a terrible mistake, and the jury's still out on whether Bob will lose his job over it, or not.

El jurado sigue sin saber / Aún no toma la decisión

Example sentences:

• The jury's still out on who's going to be the new CEO, but we should find out soon / El jurado sigue sin saber quién va a ser el nuevo CEO, pero debemos encontrar algo pronto.

• The jury's still out on whether the new drug works because the test results are still being analysed / El jurado sigue sin saber si el nuevo fármaco funciona porque los resultados de las pruebas siguen analizándose.

Additional examples:

• The jury is still out on Jane. We don't know what we are going to do about her.

• The jury is still out on the question of building a new parking lot.
