Definitions

To publicly and firmly declare one's support for a particular cause, belief, or group, often in a way that shows commitment and unwillingness to back down. The phrase originates from naval warfare, where raising a flag (colors) on a ship's mast signified allegiance, and nailing it meant it could not be easily taken down, symbolizing determination and defiance.
