How to use "Hook line and sinker" in context?
The expression "hook line and sinker" has a very specific meaning and comes from fishing. When a fisherman spots a fish on the surface of the water, he will typically use a long, thin line to try and reel in the fish. If the fish starts to pull the line too hard, the fisherman will use a heavier weight, often a sinker, to help the fish stay pulled in. This phrase is often used figuratively to describe something that is entirely too good to be true.
