Bank on something

Here are my instructions for making grilled pizza.

It begins with fresh tomatoes and basil.

That sounds tasty.

Hey, I’m having a pizza party this Saturday.

Why don’t you come by.

Oh, you can bank on that!

I love pizza.

I mean, love.

When you put money in the bank, you trust the bank to keep it safe.

So, when you “bank on” something, you trust it will happen as much as you trust the bank with your money.

Ouff. Now I’m hungry for pizza.

I bet Jonathan will go get some with me.

You can bank on that.

And that’s English in a Minute!
