ten foot
Avoidance pole length
Ten foot describes something measuring ten feet in length, height, or distance.
The phrase appears in fixed expressions: a ten-foot pole is the proverbial implement for keeping maximum distance from something objectionable—I wouldn't touch that deal with a ten-foot pole.
Ten foot often implies impressive or intimidating size: He thinks he's ten foot tall.
