Description

The idiom "to bend over backwards" means to make a great effort to accommodate someone or to do something, often going to extreme lengths or sacrificing one's own comfort or well-being. It implies exerting oneself to an extreme degree in order to please or assist someone else. This idiom vividly illustrates the notion of contorting or straining oneself as if physically bending backwards, emphasizing the difficulty or effort involved in the action.

Tune in and have a great day!
