What is the origin of the idiom "put the feedbag on" and when to use it?
The idiom "put the feedbag on" originates from the practice of feeding horses and other livestock by placing a bag or sack filled with feed over their heads. The bag is secured around the animal's neck, allowing them to eat while being restrained or controlled. It can be used humorously or informally to describe the act of beginning a meal or indulging in food.
