A: Louise is in clover for the rest of her life now. B: What good fortune has she run into? A: She has inherited a lot from her wealthy grandmother and she’ll probably never need to work again. Note: This idiom means “to live luxuriously.” Dating back to 1710, this expression has its origins in agriculture, as clover is extremely delicious and fattening to cattle. For example: My father hasn’t saved a lot of money during his career, so when he retires he won’t exactly live in clover. |
