get around
Find a workaround
Get around centers on movement and avoidance.
Literally, it means to move from place to place: She gets around on a bicycle.
It extends to circumventing obstacles or rules: There's no getting around the fact that we're broke, He found a way to get around the regulations.
News or rumors get around when they spread: Word gets around fast in a small town.
To get around to something is to finally attend to it: I'll get around to fixing that leak eventually.
Describing a person who gets around often implies they have many sexual partners.
