Secure the bag

Etymology

From African American Vernacular English and hip-hop, where “the bag” long meant money or a payday, and to “secure the bag” was to get paid and keep it. It spread widely as a motivational slogan in the late 2010s; its counterpart is to “fumble the bag,” to blow the opportunity.

phrase · /sih-KYOOR thuh BAG/
To lock in money or seize a valuable opportunity — to get the payoff and hold onto it.
What it names
It names the imperative to convert a chance into secured gain and not let it slip — a motto of financial ambition in which “the bag” is the money or the win.
Example
She negotiated the raise, took the equity, and secured the bag before signing.
Related idea
