THE STORY GOES

Good morning,

Today I am following up on our Daily Vitamin about History vs. Story.

Today's expression is: (so) the story goes

Meaning: used to describe something that people are saying, although it may not be correct (or you may not believe it).

Example 1:
Swine flu (gripe A) is incredibly deadly and is going to be a world pandemic, or so the story goes.

Example 2:
The Spanish economy will make a full recovery in 2010, the story goes.
