Did You Know?
Did you know the phrase ‘they won hands down’ came from horse racing? If a jockey’s horse is winning a race by such a big margin, he’s allowed to drop the reigns and let the horse finish the race without him spurring it on. That’s why when someone wins something ‘hands down,’ it’s because they’ve won by a large margin.
Now, you know...and knowing is half the battle!
