The origin of the proverb "it is not over till the fat lady sings" is often attributed to the world of opera, particularly to the final song performed by a larger woman in many traditional operas. The phrase became popular in the 20th century, particularly in the context of sports, to emphasize that one should not assume the outcome of a situation until it is completely finished. While it is often used to suggest that victory or defeat is not decided until the very end, the saying serves as a reminder to keep hope or determination until the final moment, as unexpected changes or outcomes can still occur.
