O

off the reservation

  • used to slam people who are thinking differently than what their group considers acceptable. Origin: comes from the time in the late 1800s in the USA when many American Indian tribes were ordered to be relocated to "reservations." Many tribes ignored the relocation orders at first and were forced onto their new limited land parcels. Enforcement of the policy required the United States Army to restrict the movements of various tribes. The pursuit of tribes in order to force them back onto reservations led to a number of Native American Wars.
