"Fit As A Fiddle"..................

Being in good health; in sound condition. This common idiom is used by people to describe their health, or to say that they are in good shape.


This phrase's origin is not clear. However, it may have something to do with the maintenance involved in keeping a musical instrument in good condition. Indeed, instruments like guitars, flutes, drums and others require a level of care to keep them in good shape and functioning properly.
