What is the meaning by the skin of your teeth you won the game?
By the skin of one's teeth comes from a misquotation from the book of Job. He has lost everything, his friends and family have turned against him. "my bone cleaves to my skin and flesh and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." A earlier translation says: " No bone hangs to my skin and the flesh and all I have is the skin around my teeth". This where is comes from but we now say that it means a 'close shave' or a win that wasn't a 'sure bet'.
