1.Cross that bridge when you get there.
2.Cross that bridge when you come to it. |
I saw #1 in some book.
But there is #2 in my dictionary, where it means 'used to say that you will not think or worry about something until it actually happens.'.
1.Is #1 used among native speakers as the same meaning as #2?
2.Which one is more frequently used among native speakers?
Thanks. |

I think they are both okay, but I tend to hear/use "Cross that bridge when you come to it." more. |
