"Right Off The Bat"
Instantly, immediately, first thing. Sidebar: The origins of this phrase are likely to be from baseball, where, after a successful hit, the batter will take immediate action and run to first base. From what I've found, this idiom goes back to at least the 1880s. Anyways, during the 1880s, this expression was used in newspapers both in relation to baseball, but also in the figurative sense of 'doing something fast.' |

"All's Well That Ends Well"............
An event that has a good ending is good even if some things went wrong along the way. A positive ending can overshadow any problems that may have preceded it. Sidebar: Although this phrase is the title of a Shakespeare play, it likely predates it. |
