Fight Tooth and Nail

01.26.04 (9:13 am) [edit]

Derrick picked the idiom "Fight Tooth and Nail". It means to fight fiercely, furiously, and ferociously! Derrick has a great illustration:

This colorful expression goes far back to a Latin proverb that became a French saying centuries later and finally came into English in 1562. When wild animals fight, they often bite and claw each other. Sometimes people fight fiercely, as if they were animals fighting a deadly battle "tooth and nail".
