Close, But No Cigar

What is Close, But No Cigar?


1.

Expression used when someone got so close to accomplish something... but didn't really accomplish it.

Let's say you think of a number from 1 to 100 and ask someone to guess that number... You thought of 83 but the other person says 84... And then you say "Close, but no cigar".

This expression comes from a Golf tradition... If you're playing golf with your friends and instead of working the ball into the hole with a few drives you make it in a single play... you're friends are supposed to buy you a cigar after the game...

- Guess who I took for dinner last night?

+ My sister?

- Close, but no cigar.

+ Who then?

- Your Mama.

See close, golf, almost
