Lock, stock, and barrel is a figure of speech used predominantly in the United Kingdom and North America, meaning all, total, or everything. The term was first recorded in the letters of Sir Walter Scott in1817, in the line 'Like the High-landman's gun, she wants stock, lock, and barrel, to put her into repair.' It is, however, thought that this term evolved into a popular saying some years before in England. Today it is a popular cliche, used mainly by the older generations
