Throw Caution to the Wind
What it means
Act without weighing the risk, having decided that weighing it was the real problem.
Where it comes from
English also throws things to the winds, which is the more precise picture. Caution is not set down carefully. It is flung, in no particular direction, and not retrieved afterwards.
The puzzle it came from
Throw Caution to the Wind was the answer to the Phrasicle of June 3, 2025. The clue read ____ ____ to the ____, and the words came out of a grid where every neighbouring pair makes a two-word phrase.
