2--But what does this American idiom mean? Bend the rules.
 
1--My new apartment has a no animals rule.
 
2--But I really want to get a cat. What do you think?
 
1--Do you think I can bend the rules and get one?
 
2--That's not bending the rules. That's straight up breaking the rules.
 
1--If you get a cat, you could be kicked out.
 
2--If you really want a pet, start with a fish.
 
1--When you bend the rules, you are not exactly following them.
 
2--But you're not breaking the rules either.
 
1--So if you are thinking about bending the rules, you should consider the end result.
