Full steam ahead

The phrase "Full steam ahead" is an idiom that means to move forward or proceed quickly and with enthusiasm, without any hesitation or obstacles. It originated from steamships that used steam power to operate. When a ship was moving at its maximum speed, the command "full steam ahead" was given to the crew to signal that all engines should be operating at their full capacity. Over time, the phrase has been adopted metaphorically to convey the idea of making progress or pursuing a goal with great determination and without any hindrance.
