Idiom
Informal

to be in control of a particular situation and be the one who decides what needs to be done

What is the origin of the idiom "call the shots" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "call the shots" can be traced back to the sport of billiards or pool. In billiards, the player who "calls the shots" is the one who declares which ball they intend to hit and into which pocket it will go. By doing so, they take control of the game and determine the sequence of shots. It is often used when discussing leadership roles, management positions, or situations where one is responsible for directing and determining the course of action.

Idiom

What is the origin of the idiom "rule the roost" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "rule the roost" can be traced back to traditional farming practices and the behavior of roosters in a chicken coop or farmyard. In a typical farm setting, the rooster, also known as a cockerel, serves as the dominant male bird and leader of the flock. The rooster establishes its authority by crowing loudly, displaying territorial behavior, and protecting the hens from potential threats. This behavior symbolizes its control and dominance over the roost or the chicken coop. It is commonly used in situations where someone is clearly in charge and exercises power, dominance, or influence.
