"pull the fat from the fire"की परिभाषा और अर्थ

What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "pull the fat from the fire" can be traced back to medieval cooking practices. In those times, cooking was often done over an open flame, and as meat cooked, the fat would drip into the fire, causing flare-ups and potentially dangerous situations. To prevent these flare-ups, cooks had to be vigilant and skilled, and they would use long forks or hooks to "pull" the pieces of fat away from the fire. It is often used in both casual and formal conversations, as well as in written communication, to praise individuals who have displayed resourcefulness, courage, or skill in resolving urgent and potentially dire situations.
