The internet slang term “We’ll Cross That Bridge When We Come To It” means that you will deal with a problem or matter when it arises, instead of worrying or planning for it in advance.
Examples:
1. You and your friend are planning a trip, and you’re discussing whether you should book the flight tickets now to get a good deal. Your friend says, “Let’s not worry about it yet. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” In other words, your friend suggests that you both focus on other aspects of the trip and deal with booking the tickets at a later time when it becomes necessary.
2. You and your coworker are discussing a complicated project at work and trying to come up with a detailed plan to handle all potential challenges. Your coworker says, “We can’t anticipate every issue, so let’s not overcomplicate things. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.” Here, your coworker suggests that you both address problems as they arise instead of trying to plan for every possible scenario in advance.
Example 1:
You: Should we start packing for the camping trip now?
Friend: Nah, let’s relax for now. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
Example 2:
Teacher: Should we prepare for all questions that might appear on the exam?
Student: Let’s focus on understanding the material first. We’ll cross that bridge when we come to it.
