"Shot in the dark" refers to a guess or attempt that is made without certainty or any basis for expecting success. 🌚 Not unlike taking an actual shot in pitch darkness, not knowing where the target is. It’s often used when you make a guess but are not really sure, similar to randomly choosing an answer on a multiple-choice test. Like fishing in a vast ocean with just a tiny hook, hoping you'll catch something. 🎣 It suggests there's a lot of uncertainty and luck involved.
