"Pushing the envelope."
I wondered the following:
1. What is in the envelope?
2. Why push it and not just open it?
3. What is so important that is should be in an envelope that is being pushed?
The phrase has absolutely nothing to do with the postal services, as one might presume. It is more on the lines of being enveloped.
So, I'm not offering you a letter when I push the envelope, rather, I am getting closer to being enveloped by something...
2.
The telephone game.
"Someone stole a computer from the library yesterday" turned into "I ate a hamburger, cat, and taxi driver."
Reliable sources for sure.
3.
Learning Microsoft Excel.
"You have to know this question for the test next week... and for life."
Finally, information that carries on after the test.
