Have you ever heard someone say something that made sense at the time but when you looked back and thought about what they had actually said to you, it made no sense whatsoever? People use phrases and terms that others often understand with no trouble. The interesting part is when those phrases or terms have nothing to do with what you were talking about. For example, the phrase “chomping at the bit” means to be impatient. But instead of just saying impatient, we make a reference to a horse that is chewing or biting its bit because it doesn’t want to wait to get moving. These types of coined phrases, colloquialisms, idioms, etc are used all the time and many of us never question how they came to be a regular part of our everyday language. Leave it to your trusty neighborhood Snippetz to find out the origins of these interesting variations of speech!
