📔 a bridge too far


📋Meaning
cliché An act or plan whose ambition overreaches its capability, resulting in or potentially leading to difficulty or failure.

🗣The multi-million-dollar purchase of the small startup proved a bridge too far for the social media company, as the added revenue couldn't make up for the cost in the end.

🗣Look, I'm happy to help you guys out, but I'm not willing be the primary investor in your invention—that's just a bridge too far.Apparently, signing an A-list player is just a bridge too far for this team! They'd rather wallow in their mediocrity, I guess.
