LACING IN TO Meaning and Definition

  1. Lacing into is a phrasal verb that often carries a figurative meaning and is used to describe a vehement or forceful verbal attack or criticism towards someone or something. It can be understood as a metaphorical act of forcefully tying or binding through the use of strong words or harsh language.

    When someone laces into another person or an idea, they harshly criticize, reproach, or reprimand them in a forceful manner. This expression typically conveys the intensity of the attack, implying that the person delivering the criticism does so with great force or intensity, leaving little room for rebuttal or defense.

    For example, suppose there is a heated debate about a controversial topic, and one participant expresses a passionate disagreement. They may "lace into" their opponent by using emotive language, strong arguments, and extensive evidence to vehemently attack their position and discredit their arguments.

    The phrase is often used to describe verbal confrontations, debates, or arguments where the intention is to assert one's position with aggression and determination. However, it is important to note that "lacing into" does not necessarily imply physical violence but rather a verbal assault or strong condemnation of a person or idea.
