Idiom
InformalWhat is the origin of the idiom "poke one's nose into something" and when to use it?
The idiom "poke one's nose into something" originates from the idea of prying or meddling in other people's affairs, much like someone literally inserting their nose where it doesn't belong. This expression is used to describe the act of becoming involved in a situation or matter that does not concern one, often inquisitively or intrusively. It conveys a sense of nosiness and a lack of respect for personal boundaries, as though someone is figuratively poking their nose into something that is not their business.
