The idiom "live on borrowed time" has its origins in the notion of someone whose life has been extended or prolonged beyond what was expected, typically due to luck or some external factor. It implies that the person is living beyond their allotted or expected time, as if they've borrowed extra time beyond their natural lifespan. This expression is often used to describe individuals who have survived a life-threatening situation or a serious illness.

What is the origin of the idiom "live on borrowed time" and when to use it?
