It's used in so many cases! If you never studied a foreign language, you won't understand me correctly. I want to imagine the meaning as well as native speakers.

  • Think of a lever -- a pry bar. If you have "leverage" you have the pry bar inserted in such a way that you can easily manipulate the thing at the other end of the bar, using only a little effort on your end of the bar.
