Chisel In for Dummies

Alright, so "chisel in" is a phrase that we use to talk about really making sure something is a part of something else. It's like when you have a block of wood and you want to carve a specific design into it. You would use a chisel, which is like a special tool, to carefully and precisely cut into the wood to create the shape you want.

So, when we talk about "chiseling in" something, we're talking about carefully and deliberately fitting it into a particular place or situation. It's like making sure that something is really firmly fixed or included in a specific spot.

For example, let's say you have a busy schedule, but you really want to make time to hang out with your friends. You might "chisel in" some time for them by carefully organizing your calendar and making sure to set aside a specific time to see them. That way, you're making sure that spending time with your friends is firmly placed into your busy schedule.

Another way to think about it is like when you're building a puzzle, and you have that one piece that just doesn't seem to fit anywhere. You really have to make sure to "chisel in" that piece by carefully adjusting and fitting it into the puzzle until it fits perfectly. So, "chiseling in" something means making sure it's fitting in just right and becoming a part of something in a very deliberate and specific way.

So, in a nutshell, "chisel in" means to carefully and deliberately fit or include something into a particular place or situation. It's like making sure something is firmly fixed or included in a specific spot, just like carving a design into a block of wood with a chisel.
