Almost overnight, DeepSeek, the Chinese AI chatbot, has rocketed to popularity in the United States. Matteo Wong on America’s divide over whether to embrace or fear it:
"Rocketed to popularity" means to rapidly and significantly gain fame or public recognition, like a rocket launching quickly into the sky; essentially, it signifies a sudden and substantial increase in popularity.
Example: "After the viral video, the young singer rocketed to popularity overnight."
The idiom "meet your match" means to face someone who is as good as you, or even better, and who could defeat you. For example, "She knew after the first game that she had met her match".
Explanation
- "Meet your match" is used to describe a situation where you are competing or fighting against someone who is equal to you in power and ability.
- For example, you might say "He was a good player, but he met his match in Peter".
- The idiom can also be used to describe a situation where you are competing against someone who is better than you.
- For example, you might say "I had finally met my match in power and intellect".
The idiom originated around 1300 as "find one's match".
