Meaning to be impatient to start; to be ready and enthusiastic to do something
Origin This saying, which has been used for at least 200 years, comes from horse racing. An eager racehorse champs, or bites, on the bit in its mouth at the start of a race. That shows that it is impatient with any delay and wants to be off and running. Today the meaning has been broadened to include not only horses at the starting gate but also anyone eager to start doing something.
