The idiom "worm one's way out of something" has its origins in the animal kingdom. It draws from the behavior of worms and weasels, known for their ability to escape tight spots or tricky situations by using their physical characteristics, such as a worm's ability to wriggle through small openings and a weasel's agility to evade predators. Over time, this imagery has been metaphorically applied to describe individuals who use clever or evasive tactics to avoid or escape from difficult, uncomfortable, or challenging circumstances.
