Rubber==tyre==vehicle.
We will see the actual result when the vehicle starts moving over the road.

Abbas Bouazar – (cut down) September 5, 2021
In all examples that I read about this phrase, nouns were used after it. Will somebody tell me if I can use a verb after it? For instance, Can I say: I’ve decided to cut down going there. Thanks

It’s overused and threadbare. I’ll try different combos just to see if anything works. “We all need to be scratching the same spot??” “Not all of us have pulled our big panties up . . . ?” Hmmm.

I think the phrase precedes the board game

Pulled the plug existed as an idiom before life support existed. It either came from pulling the plug out of a drain such as in a sink or tub or pulling out an electrical cord. That second origin is similar to the origin you suggested but predates your origin and is not morbid.

It better to get those pactuation marks in order to have efficient speaking especially in english. Other wise there is some confusion about the usage of apostrophe of possession and appostrophe of contraction.
Emmy – (crush) August 21, 2021
This is a question though not a thought if someone told you he has a crush on you and he knows that you know his girlfriend, still he said he loves his girlfriend but he has a crush on you what can you do in this situation
CoCo – (all is fair in love and war) August 21, 2021
I think, that, “all is fair in love and war” is the same as, “when pigs fly” they’re both idioms aren’t they?

Marylander here, my parents and grandparents on at least one side said this. I say it to people my age (26) and they have no idea what I’m talking about. Nice to finally find out where it all came from and that others know it as well!
