Post subject: Digest (8/15/05): "Pedal to the mettle"
Quote:
Then Marco really put the pedal to the mettle.
While not an uncommon mistake, the actual idiom invoked should be "pedal to the metal". This idiom is special in that it includes two homophones, pedal/peddle/petal and metal/mettle/medal/meddle allowing us at least 11 possible wrong combinations.
The saying comes from the act of pressing the accelerator pedal all the way down to the metal floorboard.
Idiom Site
On a completely different note, I really wish we could comment on the digest and news stories directly. I sometimes have actual serious comments
(unlike the one above)
but they often fall out of the context of the regular
Vonage
Forum forums. It makes sense to me to be able to comment on the stories themselves rather than on having to do it in the cafeteria or trying to convince myself that they are "Vonage enough" to post in the main forum.
