Today’s “Phrase of the Day” is “no holds barred” and its meaning is “without rules or restrictions (i.e. engage in a conflict/dispute without any rules/restrictions)”.
Example Sentence: “Failure is a great teacher” is a truism (saying/proverb). Subsequent discussion on this quote leads one through the ‘enlightenment’ that accrue to those who engage in an honest, open and no-holds-barred conversation on what went wrong; they learn from the misadventure and come out stronger.
