Idiom
Informal

What is the origin of the idiom "hand in hand" and when to use it?

The idiom "go hand in hand" is derived from the physical act of two people walking or moving together while holding each other's hands. This literal practice of walking hand in hand signifies unity, cooperation, and mutual support. The idiom extends this idea to describe situations where two elements or factors are closely connected and work together in a harmonious or complementary manner, often reinforcing each other's influence. Its origin lies in the universal gesture of physical connection and cooperation.

Idiom
Informal

used when two or more participants in a race or competition are very close and have an equal chance of winning

What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?

The idiom "neck and neck" likely originates from the world of horse racing, where it is crucial to measure the distances between horses at the finish line. When two horses are very close to each other, with their necks aligned, it signifies a close and competitive race with no clear leader. Over time, this horse racing terminology has been adopted into everyday language to describe any close competition or situation where two or more parties are evenly matched.
