Milk it | take advantage of a situation by extending or exaggerating it for too long #idioms

The idiomatic expression "to milk it" typically means to take advantage of a situation for one's own benefit, often by extending or exaggerating it for longer than is necessary or reasonable.

For example, if someone has a minor injury and continues to complain about it long after it has healed, they may be accused of "milking it" for sympathy or attention. Similarly, if someone is given a small task to complete and takes an excessive amount of time to finish it in order to avoid doing other work, they might be said to be "milking it" for extra time.
