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

The origin of the idiom "in the bag" is actually uncertain, but there are a few theories about its origins. One theory is that it comes from the world of hunting, where a hunter who successfully shoots and kills an animal would place it in a bag to carry it home, implying a successful hunt. Another theory is that the idiom comes from the sport of horseshoes, where a horseshoe that lands in the scoring area is "in the bag" and scores points for the player, indicating definite success. The idiom is used more generally to describe a situation where achieving success or victory is considered certain or very likely.

Idiom

What is the origin of the idiom "take it for granted" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "take for granted" can be traced back to the Middle English period. The word "granted" in this context refers to something that is assumed to be true or accepted without question. The phrase emphasizes the human tendency to become accustomed to or overlook the value of things that are consistently present or readily available. Over time, it has become a commonly used expression to convey the idea of not fully appreciating or recognizing the significance of something until it is lost or no longer accessible.

Idiom

to allow or wait for a situation to become calmer or more stable after a significant change or serious dispute

What is the origin of the idiom "let the dust settle" and when to use it?

The origin of the phrase "let the dust settle" can be traced back to literal dust settling after a disturbance or commotion, such as a battle or a construction activity. When dust is stirred up, it takes some time for the particles to settle back down and for visibility to improve. This literal concept of waiting for the dust to settle eventually evolved into a metaphorical expression. It is employed to suggest the importance of allowing a period of time for emotions to calm down, tensions to ease, or chaos to subside before making decisions or taking further action.
