peer agreement (net): +1| if you will że tak powiem; że się tak wyrażę/ jeśli wolno mi tak powiedzieć/ jeśli mogę się tak wyrazić Explanation: This is an INCORRECT metaphor in this context. Lindsay is using a folksy metaphor about "getting out ahead of skis," and then says something like "so to speak," "if you know what I mean," to test the audience's understanding of the metaphor in this context. cccc used to say that a particular expression is one way of saying something, especially to suggest that some people may not choose to say it that way https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/if-yo... |

| Reference: see Reference information: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/get-out-... does it definitely read "as you were" rather than "as it were". The first sentence is poorly expressed in English and I don't know what it means. |
