Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is lock, stock, and barrel and it’s meaning is “completely; everything, the whole thing”.
Example Sentence: The government of Uttar Pradesh, last week, introduced an ordinance that has scrapped most labour laws for three years. Hence, the Uttar Pradesh government’s move will only result in a race to the bottom on workers’ pay and labour standards, making workers worse off, without creating additional jobs, as it is a lack of demand that is currently holding up output growth. The Uttar Pradesh ordinance needs to be revoked, lock, stock, and barrel.
