    English isn’t my first language. So, not sure how to say it, but I know you know what I meant.

      I thought maybe it was something I hadn’t heard before. Humorous misunderstanding though.

        I’ve always thought that it meant “putting food on the table”. Until the time when you replied, then it made sense.
