around the clock Meaning If something occurs around the clock, it goes on all day and all night. For example I have to finish this report by Tuesday, so Ill be working around the clock until I get it done. What the young people of this town need is a drop-in centre thats open around the clock. #Idiom_of_the_Day ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ➠@PhrasalCards ➠@SlangWords ➠@IdiomsLand ➠@Vocabulix ➠@GrammarCards ➠@EnglishGate ➠@StoryPage 3.5K views15:30
