A candle idea

Not the brightest idea someone can come up with, but enough to get the job done.

Shit, I dropped my wallet down there. Can you help me get it out?

worth the candle

Old idiom that means the potential benefits or rewards of an action or endeavor should justify the effort, time, or resources invested in it. The phrase has its origins in the idea of needing a candle to provide light for an activity, and the light should be worth the cost of the candle itself.

John: Is driving all the way across town for a cup of coffee really worth the candle?
Mary: Yes!

Votive candle

Your wife buys votive candle for a votive candle holder and buys the wrong size.. too big to fit thru the opening. You say give me that thing and i will make it work. She says i will give you one million dollars if you make it fit. So i take the candle out of the tin. Bend tin and place it into the holder. Then i take candle and shove it thru shaving a little off the sides. Reassemble candle into tin hand it to her and ask for that million.

That is my votive candle definition and story.

I'll hold the candle

A phrase meaning "I will assist but not actively participate." This is derived from a period where apprentices would hold a candle for their master to work. Related to the phrase "couldn't hold a candle", when a person is being described as being so inadequate that they were not fit to assist.
