What other body parts do we "give" people? You can give/lend someone a hand. Give them the finger. Lend them an ear. What else? (I see there's a short for "best foot forward," but nobody is receiving that.)
Great question. I think it can be used with both, but the more common will be "the." You'll notice that in my examples in the video, I used "the" in both.
Well done👏👏👏 Excellent etymological insight! I 'd be happy if you could make a video on " back seat driver". Have a good weekend!
