What is the origin of the idiom "dos and don'ts" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "dos and don'ts" can be traced back to the early 20th century, where it emerged as a concise way to express a set of guidelines or rules.

It is commonly employed in areas such as etiquette, safety protocols, job training, educational settings, and general life advice.

What is the origin of the idiom "have someone over a barrel" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "have someone over a barrel" likely stems from literal scenarios involving physical restraint or vulnerability. It is related to the practice of punishing or disciplining individuals by placing them over a barrel, where they would be physically immobilized and unable to escape or resist. Another potential origin comes from the concept of barrel usage in the shipping industry. In the past, when a person was trapped inside a barrel, they would be at the mercy of those in control, as their movements would be severely restricted.
