English Idiom: Put your money where your mouth is
Put your money where your mouth is is a very common idiom, and guys use it all the time when hanging out with each other.
It means instead of just talking about something, you should do it.
For example, if you say you can do something, then you should be willing to bet real money and prove that you can do what you say you can do.
Doing this shows you believe you can do what you say you can do.
It is easy to say that you can get 900 on a TOEIC test, but writing the test and getting 900 is not so easy at all. It takes a lot of hard work and dedication and deserves respect.
We look up to and respect people who put their money where their mouth is, say they will do something and then really do it.
