רֹאשׁ בְּרֹאשׁ
roshberosh
Everyday HebrewMeaningWhen two people or groups deal with each other directly, without anyone else in between. It can be a competition, a fight, or just a private talk.
HistoryThe words "rosh" (head) and "be" (in/with) are very old and come from the Bible. But putting them together like this to mean "head-to-head" is something people started doing in modern Hebrew. It creates a picture of two people facing each other directly, with nothing between them.
Example
They decided to go head-to-head in the elections.
