just as leave. When someone says “I’d just as leave stay home as go to that party,” he or she should properly use lief, meaning “gladly or willingly,” not leave, in the phrase. However, people have used leave incorrectly for so long that lief is slowly but surely becoming obsolete in the expression. Nevertheless, just as lief, or had as lief can be traced back almost a thousand years. |
