Idiom
InformalWhat is the origin of the idiom "burn rubber" and when to use it?
The idiom "burn rubber" originates from the practice of rapidly accelerating a vehicle, causing the tires to spin and create friction that heats and wears down the rubber on the tires. This phrase is closely associated with the squealing sound and the visible marks left on the road as a result of the rapid acceleration. Over time, "burn rubber" has evolved into a colloquial expression, often used to describe the act of accelerating a vehicle forcefully or, more broadly, any situation involving speed, haste, or a rapid start.
