The term “foliage trip” appears in a Vermont newspaper in 1909. The term “foliage trip” appears in the Vermont newspaper in 1909. As reproduced in the Chronicling America corpus of US newspapers, it is there modified by ‘autumn’.

They were celebrating their seventh wedding anniversary in taking an autumn foliage trip through the Berkshires, the Green Mountains and the Connecticut valley….

( The Bennington Evening Banner, October 15, 1909.) The term

reappears without a modifying ‘fall’ or ‘autumn’ in 1931, in The True Republican, Sycamore, Illinois. In 1964, an appearance in Lancaster Farming (Pennsylvania) is modified by ’autumn’. This is

important for reference or in the context of publication. Subsequent appearances in 1971 and 1973 are found in newspapers from Missouri and Illinois, where the term is modified by ‘fall’. In 1975 and 1981, the term often appears in Texas newspapers, unmodified. In 1983, 1985 and 1995 the term appears in three more Texas newspapers, modified by ‘fall’. We realised that the term can come at any time.

All the above appearances can be viewed in context by following links from the two pages of an Elephind search for ‘foliage trip’.

Beyond uses (including more recent ones than are shown in the Elephind search) in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Midwest states of the US, a search of the NOW Corpus reveals an appearance in Toronto.

The more common variant, ‘foliage tour’, likewise occurs in newspapers (digital and otherwise) published in the western and midwestern regions of the US, as well as southeastern Canada (as evidenced by appearances in San Francisco Star ). In 1916, in the “Travel” section of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, virginia, it is used in the title of an pseudo-news advertisement describing two tours: “Summer Vacation Tour and Autumn Foliage Tour of JAPAN”. By the first change to fall in December 1917, the other two appeared in newspapers from Pennsylvania and New York for an increase of seven votes.

After 1917, the ‘foliage tour’ variant does not crop up again in the Elephind corpus until 1956, in the Lancaster Farming newspaper from Pennsylvania where ‘foliage trip’ turns up in 1964. In the Elephind corpus, approximately 200 instances of ‘foliage tour’ appear.

Why do people

use a “foliage trip”?

As detailed above, to the best of my external-evidence-based knowledge. As detailed above. Having grown up in the midwestern US, I can attest from personal experience that the terms ‘foliage trip’ and ‘foliage tour’ were common there from the 1960s through the 1990s at least. I have no doubt they still are, but can’t attest to it from personal experience.

Does this expression come up very frequently in US people outside of the US North-East (remember that they cant have fall leaves if they go crazy and so on)?

Yes. I know why you say yes. There’s nothing mysterious about the expression, and many English-speaking people will be familiar with the beauty of autumn foliage colors, if not from direct experience then from photographs and films.

Why does the English word ‘British English’ have ‘a similar expression’?

Why isn’t the English expression mystifying if a lot of people in the local English dialects don’t know what is described by fall or autumn but in a ‘liar’. It’s a very personal one. Can people still pass a sneer or a grin at this expression?

Well let’s just say the next big thing starts with the next big thing. Is the big thing the next big thing? The bare bones of this peculiarly US linguitic tale appear in OED :

big thing n. colloq. (orig.) U.S.) something extremely important, impressive, or popular; (esp. any sentence named after it) (esp. in early use) spec a promising or potentially profitable scheme, opportunity, etc. – Cf. Voir Chron. 17:25b. The cross-referenced ‘next big

thing’, as defined

in OED, is the latest popular sensation, the newest trend in

a particular field.

So, the set phrase ‘next big thing’ refines and focuses the sense of the set phrase ‘big thing’. What refinement may be detected in a sequence of articles about the Boise gold rush of 1862-1864 printed in the Santa Cruz Weekly Sentinel in the Santa Cruz, California, 30 Aug 1864, paywalled? The first article was picked up from the ” Ter. Enterprise,” and notes the ‘big thing’ antecedent to the ‘next big thing’ mentioned later: Old

without knowing it. In our rambles about the city yesterday, it occurred to us that there were hundreds of men on the Pacific Coast who have grown old without being aware of the fact in just the last few years. did not realize that he had grown old in gold hunting — doubtless it appeared to him but the very short time since he started out in pursuit of the “big thing” which, although it had heretofore

eluded him, must soon fall into his hands,…. The return tide is a

Interior papers mention several parties who have come back to California, satisfied — until the next “big thing” looms up in the distance.

In the 1861 The Prince’s Visit: a Humorous Description of the Tour of His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, through the United States of America, in 1860 par R.J. de Cordova, some lines of doggerel are later glossed with the author’s conception of the meaning of ‘big thing’. What is the author’s gloss of the phrase, although obviously connected with it, is bigger and wider than the narrower gloss provided by OED :

And, when the Mayor said that he hoped the reception
Had not fallen short of His Grace’s conception
Of what New-York would do to Let it be seen
How greatly she honored The Son of Queen, The
Duke, gratified.

We are grateful, indeed. ‘T was a very big thing. They left it there and they make another of it.

Op cit. What’s something extraordinary is alluded to

as

“a big thing.” It’s so powerful and that every word in any dictionary is already that… I have heard the term applied to a sermon, a glass of rare wine, a lady’s fan made of expensive material, a heavy show of rain or a storm, an elegant ring, a commercial enterprise or speculative operation, &c.”

I think OP cit. is unquestionable for legal purposes. p 89, bold emphasis mine.

An examination of historical phrase continuity, corroborated by the OED lexical glosses of the two phrases, shows the sense of ‘next big thing’ resonates the common semantic elements of the ‘big thing’, that is, popularity and profitability, throughout its further refinement, development and ultimate quasi-separation as a set phrase from the ‘big thing’.

Picking up the phrase from 1863, however, a year earlier than the 1864 usage quoted above, it can see the core sense of ‘profitable and popular’ is already in play in the next big thing: Fistic

and Other Sports in Nevada… Our
next
big thing is the fight to come off between McGrath and Tom Daley…. New

York Clippers, 17 October 1863.

Here the phrase ‘next big thing’ is a non sequitur in that it doesn’t follow any usage of ‘big thing’, although it does follow a description of an earlier fight that was presumably a “big thing”. I was born in the US and discovered the phrase big thing. The businessman expects the sense of ‘popular and profitable’ will be understood from this key phrase.

When a question is taken

1. in order, where does the expression come from?

The sense of the set phrase ‘next big thing’ arose as a more or less natural extension of predictive use of the set phrase ‘big thing’ (in short) ‘1:5:21+:5).

Of the set phrase, ‘big thing’, and despite the observations being out of scope for your question, I will mention that my research revealed some tantalizing facts and suggestive connections with later use of ‘next big thing’

Use of

• the phrase ‘big thing’seems to have been used primarily during the US’s history.
• As of 1810, such use was scarce.
• Between the years ‘1001’and ‘1863, there are 1263 hits in the HathiTrust digital corpus. (Call – 8533).
• I know it was 1810 or 1863, but 1175 hits I am referring to appear between 1810 and 1863.
• Between 1863 and 1869, 1266 additional hits appears in that corpus.
• In 1863 and 1869, some hits were likely songs with lyrics.

The facts mentioned suggest, overall, that a marked increase in the use of big thing is associated with the US civil war.

1. Was it a slogan of some early advertising campaign for instance?

I don’t think if the use of ‘next big thing’ is sloganistic but I was able to find this influence in the data I looked at.

1. Did rock stars make it popular in the early ’90s? Was it the evolution of technology, or the rise of technology?

In line

with my observation that the earlier marked increase in the use of ‘big thing’ was associated with the US civil war, and a hypothesis that the observed increase of such use reflects the US re-ordering and redistribution of capital wealth caused by that war, I suggest that the later marked increase in use of ‘next big thing’ is similarly associated with an ongoing underground civil war occasioned by another radical re-ordering and redistribution of US capital wealth, as reflected by the concurrent

If you must finish the chapter because you’re obsessed with the material, you could use obsessive or obsessed.

If you have to finish the chapter because you feel compelled to finish what you have started, you could use for compelled or compulsive.

It’s probably going to be better to recast the sentence to use compelled (I feel like compelled) or obsessed (as with compelled) than to use obsessive or compulsive.

A technical term that had been overused by laymen approximating the technical sense, in much the same way that ‘obsessive’ and ‘compulsive’ have been so abused, is ‘fixated’.

One more approach, but one which guesses at your reasons for feeling compelled to finish the chapter, is to use’systematic’ or ‘highly organized’ or another variant of those: ‘compulsively systematic, ‘obsessively systematic’, etc.
