Do you know the usual procedure? · Are you familiar with what needs to be done?
This expression is perfect for when you're talking to someone who's done something many times before and you don't need to explain it step-by-step. 😅 It's a quick way to say, "You know how this goes, right?" without sounding bossy. Great for work, sports, or even household chores! 💪🏠
💡 **Pro-Tip!** This phrase is often used with a slight upward intonation, turning it into a question even without an explicit 'right?' at the end. It builds rapport by assuming a shared understanding. Use it when you're fairly confident the other person *does* indeed know, but you're giving them a nudge or confirmation. 😉
When is the most appropriate time to use 'You know the drill?' A. 🔄 Reminding a seasoned colleague about the standard weekly meeting agenda. B. 🙋♀️ Asking a new intern to explain a complex project to you. C. 🧐 Inquiring about a brand new, never-before-seen task that no one has experience with.
