"Lock horns" is an idiomatic expression that means to engage in a conflict or confrontation, often involving a debate or disagreement. The phrase originates from the imagery of animals, particularly bulls, locking their horns during a fight. It conveys the idea of two parties opposing each other firmly and resolutely.
