What is the origin of the idiom "make a go of something" and when to use it?
The origin of the phrase "get up on the wrong side of bed" can be traced back to ancient Roman superstitions. Romans believed that getting out of bed on the left side brought bad luck or negative energy. This belief was rooted in the idea that the left side was associated with sinister or evil forces. The phrase can be used humorously or empathetically, acknowledging that everyone has off days or moments of irritability. It is commonly used to describe someone's general demeanor, suggesting that they seem to be in a bad mood or acting in an unusually irritable manner.
