This video illustrates how idioms and figurative language can cause misunderstandings when taken literally. When Coach Dennis told Noah to 'grab on to Justin's coattail,' Noah initially interpreted this as literally grabbing Justin's coat, causing confusion and frustration. The phrase is actually an idiom meaning to follow someone's lead or benefit from their success. This demonstrates the importance of understanding context and figurative language in communication.

>> And it wasn't you. Who was your coach? I think Dennis was your coach at that time.

>> He said that. And >> I didn't even know this was saying.
