The origin of the idiom "bend the rules" can be traced back to ancient times when societies had established codes of conduct and legal systems. This phrase likely draws upon the physical action of bending something that is typically rigid or inflexible and conveys the idea of adjusting or manipulating rules to suit a particular situation or purpose. It is frequently used in discussions related to governance, sports, business, education, and any other areas where rules and regulations are in place, but some degree of flexibility or leniency is exercised to achieve specific goals or outcomes.
