The idiom "ivory tower" traces its origins to the 19th century and is believed to have been popularized by the French poet Alfred de Vigny. It refers to the idea of an isolated, remote, and often unrealistic place where intellectuals, scholars, or academics engage in pursuits that are disconnected from the practical concerns and realities of everyday life. The term "ivory" in the phrase symbolizes a sense of purity, privilege, and detachment from the world. This expression is often used to criticize or describe individuals, particularly intellectuals or academics, who are perceived as being out of touch with the real world or as having impractical and idealistic views.

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.

The origin of the idiom "change one's horse midstream" can be traced back to an anecdote attributed to Abraham Lincoln. While the exact historical veracity of the story is debated, it is commonly believed that Lincoln used this metaphor during his presidential campaign in 1864. According to the anecdote, Lincoln was approached by a group of supporters who urged him to switch his vice presidential running mate. In response, Lincoln allegedly used the analogy of not changing horses midstream to convey his reluctance to change course or make significant changes during a critical phase of a process.

What is the origin of the idiom "change one's horse midstream" and when to use it?
