»›Isn’t it something you can table, at least until then?‹«
Ugh.
Got confused again.
I knew that one version of »to table« was »put on the metaforical table for consideration« and the other was »take off the table«.
I thought BE was take off, AE put on.
Bzzt, wrong.
This is AE, and it means »postpone« and is used the usual way around.
