Put your nose down in something and get damn good at it.


Does "put your nose down in something" mean focus on something, commit your time to something, or something to that extent?

This isn't a common idiom in my experience, but it more or less explains itself, and yes, that's pretty much how I understand it. "get stuck into something" is another way of putting it.
