🔎 Idioms: To bend over backwards

"To bend over backwards" means to make a big effort or go out of your way to help someone or achieve something, even if it's difficult or uncomfortable. The origin of this phrase is a bit unclear, but it's thought to come from the physical act of bending your body backwards, which can be really hard and uncomfortable. So, when you say someone is "bending over backwards," it's like saying they're doing something really hard or uncomfortable to help out or get something done.
