What is the origin of the idiom "hard pass" and when to use it?
The idiom "hard pass" originated from the world of sports, particularly in the context of declining an opportunity or offer. In sports, a pass refers to the act of transferring the ball or puck to another player on the same team. When a player executes a "hard pass," it means the pass is delivered with significant force or aggression. Metaphorically, this expression came to represent a firm and definitive rejection of something, indicating a strong and unyielding refusal.
