On The LevelOn The Level : PhrasesMeaning: An indication of honesty. Example: Many browsers have asked us whether the film clip Blindsided Pedestrian at this site is for real - whether it's really on the level. Origin: This phrase was used by Freemasons (skilled stone workers) in the 14th century. From their use of the square (which drew a straight line and made you Go straight), and their use of the level (to make sure a surface was true), came the extension of the sayings into wider use. | ||
