making choices is necessary, but not always easy. many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.
one of these expressions is “hobson’s choice”. it is often used to describe a difficult choice. but that is not what it really means. its real meaning is to have no choice at all. the hobson in the expression was thomas hobson. mr.hobson owned many horses in cambridge. mr. hobson often rented his horses to the students at cambridge university. but he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses. so, he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses. they could take the horse that was nearest the stable door. or, they could not take any horse at all. thus, a hobson’s choice was really no choice.
