"A Step Ahead"..
A little bit more prepared, skilled, or successful than someone or something else; able to outmaneuver or outpace someone or something.

Sidebar:
Since at least the 19th century, one step ahead referred to a literal step forward. Early evidence for its metaphorical use comes in the late 1800s. An 1876 religious anthropology text, for instance, describes Hindu theology taking “one step ahead of the philosophic thought of primitive man,” the phrase using walking as a metaphor for advancement.

The phrase was in common idiomatic use in the 20th-century, widely found in a range of written texts by the 1980s. One step ahead commonly appears in the longer phrase, one step ahead of the game, referring to someone who is more prepared or able to beat the competition. It also frequently occurs in one step ahead of the law, describing criminals able to evade capture or outfox authorities.

By the 1990–2000s, to be, stay, or keep one step ahead was widespread in workplace communication to characterize proactive planning and preparation (e.g., a one-step-ahead strategy for growth).

"Over A Barrel"...


In a position of vulnerability, weakness, or powerlessness.



Sidebar: Where did the expression come from? It is a nautical term, which derives from the practice of hanging a drowned, usually unconscious person over a barrel to clear their lungs of water. The fate of the "patient" was determined solely by the actions of those administering the treatment. In other words, he was at their mercy.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

It is best to appreciate what you have than to seek more when you could lose all.

"Shoe Is On The Other Foot".......

Circumstances have changed or if circumstances were to change between two people.


Sidebar: This saying began life as the boot is on the other leg, appearing in print in the mid-nineteenth century. Putting the left shoe on the right foot would, of course, entail considerable discomfort, a meaning retained in the metaphor, which implies “See how you like being in my place.” Winston Churchill used it in My African Journal (1908)

Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

When making a change save what matters to you and dispose of the rest.

"Break the ice" "An Icebreaker".........


To break down a social stiffness in order for things to be more comfortable. This phrase is sometimes used when two people are meeting for the first time.

Sidebar: Some people may think that the phrase break the ice comes from steam-powered icebreaker ships that were designed in the 1800s. While traveling through ice-covered waters can be challenging, these ships were built to make navigation through the arctic regions of the world a bit easier.

So then, does the expression “break the ice” come from these types of ships? No, this is not the source of its origin because this phrase actually goes back to the 17th century, which means it precedes the creation of the icebreaker ships. For example, this expression makes an early appearance in a poem by Samuel Butler.
