Is you cant stop thinking outside the box a idiom?

The phrase "You can't stop thinking outside the box" is not a standard idiom.

Here's why:

* It's grammatically incorrect. The phrase is missing a subject and a verb. It should be something like "You can't help but think outside the box" or "They can't stop thinking outside the box."

* It's not a fixed expression with a figurative meaning. "Thinking outside the box" is a common phrase meaning to think creatively and unconventionally, but "You can't stop thinking outside the box" doesn't have a specific, established meaning.

Here are some related idioms:

* Think outside the box: To think creatively and unconventionally.

* Be a box thinker: To be conventional and uncreative.

* Can't help but (do something): To be unable to resist doing something.

Example of using the idiom "think outside the box":

"The team needed to think outside the box to find a solution to the problem."
