to lean against
Hi guys what is the real mean of synonym "to lean against"?
for example: He did not know if he would go to the concert, but he did not feel well so he was leaning against going.

Question

Answer

It's actually more common to say the opposite 'to lean towards doing something' meaning you are likely to decide to do it - I'm not sure if I've actually heard it used as 'leaning away' but its obvious what it would mean.

Answer

"To lean against" is not a synonym, but rather a phrase that means "being partial to" or "thinking of doing." If someone says he/she is "leaning against" doing something, he/she is almost deciding not to do the said action.
