To “beat about the bush” means to stall a situation or to avoid a question. The origin of this idiom has quite a strange beginning – hunters during Medieval times would often hire someone to poke around bushes with sticks in order to drive out the game.
This would often prove to be a dangerous task, as there was no telling what was lying in wait in the leaves, so they would poke about the bush with sticks in order to avoid hitting anything directly.
