FYI, the saying is "champing at the bit", it comes from horses being restrained.

hey, I appreciate your love of language and sharing with us.

I'm wondering if we couldn't re-think "bit" to the computer science usage instead of the thing that goes in the horse's mouth, and what it would mean for an AI agent to "champ at the bit"?

What new sayings will we want?
