How it's used

This idiom is used to describe a situation where someone is so well prepared or protected that there is no opportunity for an opponent to intervene or take advantage.

Common mistake

Learners often mistake this for a simple adjective, but it is a formal idiom that carries a sense of strategic perfection. Avoid using it in casual, everyday situations like missing a bus or losing a small item, as it sounds overly dramatic and literary for minor inconveniences.
