Come Hell Or High Water

Any difficult situation or obstacle.



This phrase appears to have been coined in the late 1800s to describe trail drives bringing cattle to the railroads. They had to cross the rivers even if they were flooding and the summer sun made the open prairies unbearably hot. The trail from Texas to Kansas went through hell AND high water.



Ex: I will get to School tomorrow come hell or high water.



Spanish: Contra viento y marea



German: auf Teufel komm raus
