Priya Jadeja – (at daggers drawn) July 1, 2017
The idiom AT DAGGERS DRAWN means that to be ready to fight or be ready for a battle.
I know the meaning of the idiom but not the origin. Can someone please share with me the origin of this idiom?
I hope you will.

This is one of my favorite idiomatic phrases of all the times, whenever I use it in my class, all of my students start smiling at me. The best thing about this idiom is “Dogs” and “Cats”, most of the humans like either cats or dogs, so do they the idiom.

I personally think that you focus too much on the Apple itself! The Goddess Eris is only pleased when causing CHAOS, and getting to watch it unfold for her amusement. The apple isn’t the “CAUSE”, it’s just an inadamant unknowing apple. The jealousy, between the Goddesses, and the issuing argument, had to piss off the losers! Just the Discord a twisted, bored, (here it comes), uninvited Goddess of Chaos needs to satisfy her jealousy, and need!
