Put Your Best Foot Forward

I realize that it's been a while, but now that I'm back in the routine back at school again, it's time to get back to the idioms!  Though I'm sorry to say, this semester it might have to be a once a week thing.

This week's is a fun one, and I have no idea where it came from.  It's Put Your Best Foot Forward. 

What it means is doing your best to make a good impression.  You might do this on a job interview or going out on a date with someone you admire.  This is strictly for American English.  Apprantly, it means something completely different in British English, but I won't confuse you with the details.

Until next time!
