Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “under one’s belt” and its meaning is “succeeded, achieved, experienced, learned, acquired (something (e.g. a skill) as part of one’s experience and that might be an advantage for him/her in the future”.
Example Sentence: Biden already has one big win under his belt: the $1.9tn Covid recovery stimulus bill passed by Congress last month. This package by itself is mould-breaking, by recent American standards, in facilitating a vast expansion of the country’s social safety net. It extends federal benefits, allocates funds to tackle child poverty and provides help for states, tribal governments and small businesses damaged by the pandemic.
