Is this sentence construction wrong, where "going home" has other implied meaning, the origin and span of which isn't known? [closed]
I stumbled upon this article about the origins of some unusual idioms and phrases, as I have heard many of them being used popularly.
But I was bit shocked and frustrated when I read this sentence which seems to be constructed wrongly(even though it is only created to exemplify a different phrase).
Pixie should never have gone home in that Dance-Off. She wiped the floor with Simon.
Was there any separate, short-lived, short-spanned phrase "going home" where it means any style of dance like "free style" or "original style" / "ethnic style" which could represent a knowledge of unique moves which his/her dance(or any activity) competitor doesn't know of ?
Because I have never heard of(or stumbled upon while researching) any sentence where "going home" means anything other than just going home
“Going home” here means that participant was eliminated from a reality TV competition (in this case, Strictly Come Dancing).
It’s pretty a pretty common expression in this context. Here are some examples:
- Elimination Tracker: Here’s Every Celeb Who’s Gone Home on Dancing With the Stars This Season (and Why!)
- ‘American Idol’s Disney Night — Did the Right People Go Home? (POLL)
- The first cut is the deepest: Nearly half of 'The Voice’ Season 19 contestants go home in one night
The origin of this expression is likely Survivor, a show where the competitors are marooned on an island and losing means they literally have to leave and go home.
