'Down to a...
t.'
Does anyone know the origins of this phrase, or indeed how it is written correctly - I'm trying to use it in a story?
This may help:
Eric
Or maybe this:
Oh, thank you so much!
Hmm, it's either 'Fits to a T' or 'Down to a tee'...
There's also, Dressed to a Tea.... I can't find "Down to a T (Tea) anywhere.
It's about perfecting a technique...We had it down to a tee...
That would be similar to Dressed to a tea, perfect attire, all the details examined and perfectly addressed, something to that effect. The question is, is it "T", "TEE" or "Tea"?
Well, on one of the websites cellarscene gives, above, it appears as 'down to a tee'...but I need more confirmation...
Another question comes up... This would be a cliche', should one use a cliche' in their writing?
You never can tell.
Six one way, half a dozen the other.
Lets run it up the flag pole and see who salutes.
Better safe than sorry.
Close enough for government work.
Who gives a rats ass?
Ah you see. Golfers get everywhere...
In the old days it was always Down to a Tee but things do change...
