////

The phrase "bottle out" originated from the world of cricket, a popular sport in Australia, New Zealand, England, South Africa, and other Commonwealth countries. In cricket, when a team's captain decides to declare their innings closed, rather than continue batting and potentially losing wickets, they "declare" their score. This is done if they believe they have already scored enough runs to win the match or if they want to give their bowling team a target to defend. However, before leaving the field, the outgoing team has to pack their drinks and other equipment, which are typically kept in bottles. As the team leaves the field, they carry these bottles with them, which is where the expression "bottle out" comes from. Essentially, "bottle out" means to leave the field with the bottles, symbolizing the end of the innings. The phrase has now also been adopted in other contexts, such as to indicate the end of a meeting or event, where all members leave with their belongings. The usage has expanded beyond the realm of cricket, but its origins can still be traced back to this popular sport.
