The idiom "drop someone or something like a bad habit" is thought to have originated in the early 19th century. It is believed to be a reference to the fact that bad habits are difficult to break, and that it is often easier to simply abandon them altogether. This idiom is used to describe the act of quickly and completely severing ties with a person, object, or situation that is considered undesirable, harmful, or no longer beneficial. It emphasizes a strong determination to remove someone or something from one's life.
