“‘Burn the boats’ is an expression for completely committing to a course of action by eliminating any possibility of retreating, often used in the context of achieving great success by making an all-or-nothing decision. The phrase alludes to historical incidents, such as Hernán Cortés's actions in 1519, where a commander destroyed their ships to force their troops to conquer the land rather than return.”

Ah, yeah… I won’t be doing that. 🤨
