Hi,

Can any one tell me the meanning of idiom (i guess it is) 'in the thick of things'.

That means you are very involved at the busiest or most active stage of a situation or activity. Eg 'I cannot talk right now -I am in the thick of things'

Not a teacher at all

Hi,

I checked this in WIKI and it says we refer to this phrase when:

It refers to being stuck in the mud as in progress is slow because of encountered obstacles

Is this the same thing as you have mentioned above in your reply.

I agree that it doesn't imply slow progress- it is being at the heart of the action.
