The Exam Prep Zone

at odds to disagree about something,  two things that seem to be opposites,  at variance,  in disagreement or dispute,  arguing Example They are  at odds  about the fundraiser that I being held on Saturday. We are  at odds  about how to punish our son for skipping school. I take the matter much more seriously than my husband does. They are definitely  at odds  about how to run the company. This is causing the stakeholders to lose faith in them. Her beaming smile was  at odds  with the rumours that I had heard about her quick temper. His piercing blue eyes are  at odds  with the rest of his features. His speech during the meeting is completely  at odds  with what we discussed last week.

IDIOMS LIST anything but at odds

anything but by no means, it's not the case at all, certainly not, the opposite of what you imagined,  didn't turn out as planned, nothing like it should have been EXAMPLE He went to see that new action film on Thursday night and it was anything but good, in fact, I fell asleep. My uncle was anything but a sound sleeper, she kept me awake all night most of the first year. They have no idea about money. They said it would be a cheap holiday; it turned out to be anything but. The old clerk is anything but charming when I met him. Their meeting schedule was anything but definite.
