Beat Around The Bush
If you Beat Around The Bush you approach a subject indirectly without tackling the central point head on. The saying's origins lie in hunting, 300 years ago. It refers to beaters, who use sticks against undergrowth with the intention of scaring the prey out and into the line of the hunters' guns. This is known as catching game by "beating around the bush".
