Take the 2-minute tour ×  I found the phrase “go all coy over
reports “in the following sentence of Washington Post (May 12)
article introducing CBS’s reported deal with Ashton Kutcher in
replacing him Charlie Sheen as the leading cast of its sit com,
“Two and a Half Men.”  Apparently “go all coy over stg.” looks
like an idiom. So I checked usage of ‘coy’ in English Japanese
dictionaries at hand and Oxford Advance Learners’ Dictionary to
make it sure, but none of them carries the words, ‘go coy.’ Is
“go all coy over stg.” an idiom, or simple combination of words?
“Ashton Kutcher has suddenly gone all coy over reports that his
entourage is putting the final touches on a deal to have him
replace Charlie Sheen on CBS’s “Two and a Half Men.” Kutcher’s
finally got something he could tweet that we really want to know
about, and now he clams up. Geesh!”  share|improve this question
