...who let the cat out of the bag?

By the by, this phrase got me to thinking...where does it come from?

Apparently, here suggests it's to do with substituting cats for pigs at markets as a swindle. :noexpression:

The article also suggests that it originated around about 1790.

It seems to me that we are due a new phrase in our language so I give you:

"Friday night fight outside John Cabot" as a synonym for "certainty".

As in, "Bristol City's march to the Premiership is a Friday night fight outside the John Cabot."
