What is the origin of the idiom 'In your wheelhouse'? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
It is a nautical expression. On a boat, the wheelhouse is generally where the captain is, and where the wheel and other controls -- displays, radio, radar, etc. -- are located.
The expression is akin to "in my backyard" or "close to home", and basically means that someone or something has gotten a little too close or personal.
It can also refer to someone's area of expertise.
