close, but no cigar
expression used when someone got so close to accomplish something… but didn’t really accomplish it.
let’s say you think of a number from 1 to 100 and ask someone to guess that number… you thought of 83 but the other person says 84… and then you say “close, but no cigar”.
this expression comes from a golf tradition… if you’re playing golf with your friends and instead of working the ball into the hole with a few drives you make it in a single play… you’re friends are supposed to buy you a cigar after the game…
– guess who i took for dinner last night?
+ my sister?
– close, but no cigar.
+ who then?
– your mama.
