Maybe it's the same as "push the envelope"; that is, find new frontiers, make new advances.  Think?

"Hit the road" is an expression that means "leave".  The song quoted above sings about a time when his woman tells him to leave.

It means to thoroughly dominate your opponent by not giving them a chance to do anything.  Essentially it's a billiards term - to knock in your remaining balls all in a row without giving up your shot, thus not allowing your opponent to come to the table to have a shot at winning.  In other sports, it means to simply beat the tar out of your opponent, not giving them a chance to come back and win.

I would have to say "playing both sides against the middle" means that you are not truly for one side or the other.  In fact, you are being fairweather to whoever can give the best advantage in the situation.  Sometimes the advantage is that if both sides not each other out, you will be the only one left standing to reap the rewards without having to risk anything.

Um, It's Miyamoto Musashi and it's the Book of 5 Rings. \n   Anyway, if we are talking about a "real" fight- a self defense situation- then you should first try to avoid it at all costs. Run away if possible, give the person what they want if you think that will end the threat. Nothing you have is worth risking your life...unless you think they will hurt you or someone else around you anyway. \n   If you do have to actually fight, make it as fast, as devastating, and as absolutely brutal as you possibly can. The longer your enemy is capible of hurting you the worse it is. There are no rules (other than the legal rights of ANY individual), there are no points for a take down, and no judges will award points after you lose. If it is TRULY self defense, hurt the enemy as bad as you can as fast as you can and then run away and call the police. \n   Nuff Said

Ah yes. It's an ancient oriental proverb that my karate teacher taught me. "Man who hits and runs away lives to fight another day". Much of karate is based on that in two ways: Fight or flight - Your instincts will lead you to do one or the other in a threatening situation, and defend yourself to the point where your opponent is no longer able to attack and then get away.

I guess in todays language it would mean, that the battles and angst that an artist has with the society that he lives in (which might codemn or dont appreciate his art) is like a spat btwn 2 lovers. You fight and argue but you always realize in the end that you need one another more than you know.

In the old days, the orchestra was in a pit at the front of the stage.  Reluctant actors were told to, "walk to center stage, turn and face the music"  because the music would be coming from the orchestra pit.\n\nIt has now become an idiom to mean you should meet your problems or fears head on...face them in other words.

From Nigel Collins, editor-in-chief of Ring Magazine, opined that the term "ring" meant that during the early fights, spectators formed a "ring" around the boxers. But this led to problems with the spectators occasionally jumping into the fray.  So they eventially had to encircle the fighters with ropes.  Naturally, it was easiest to create a square, or rectangle, with four posts in the corners.  Eventially, the fighting surface became a heavy tensioned canvas and was raised off the floor.  But the term "ring" has kept on.\n\nCollins' summary here:\n\nhttp://espn.go.com/magazine/vol3no26answerguy.html

I believe that it refers to either the absence of power (meaning, no one is in control) or it means that there are no politics going on.\n\nMy guess is that it refers to the absence of a controlling force or entity.  Right now, there is almost a political vacuum in Iraq.  No one is completely in control, which is why there is a civil war brewing.

i can't answer the question for you, because it has different meaning to all of us.. but to give you a hint... if you are free to choose.. can you choose not to...?? can you not be part of the whole play we are playing.. if you can just get out and not play with us.. then you are free.. and free indeed.. if you don't know how to stop playing.. then...wear your helmet and hold your stick tight baby.. because it is a pumpy ride...

I THINK it means go to the middle.  In other words, be a moderate and not a leftist or rightest.  Extremes are never good in politics.\n\nI would have this verified by other posts.\n\nIt can also mean get to the center of an issue.  It depends upon the content of your question.
