For Good Measure 📏
🌟 Definition
“For good measure” – In excess of what is really needed; as an extra. This more recent cliché akin to a baker’s dozen similarly alludes to the excess yardage or poundage given by a generous seller, although it is not always kindly used (for example, “And I’ll give you a kick for good measure”).
