That variation is interesting. Here we use it for when it has been taken care, of whereas the other is more like what ever happens it'll be OK (fully knowing it could well be botched).

a bit of a side track to that:=During late 80's, I left A city (Brisbane) due to harrasment at work & moved to a beachside place where I had purchased land (years before) with the original intention of having a holliday cottage. I owner built a modest 3 bed house after submitting a new bigger house plan to local govt. I had had applied for some admin jobs in the sleepy coastal area & all had told me I would have had the job if i lived in the area. When I did live there =no jobs advertised. While I gained part time work as a "head cashier" for a grocery company, I entertained a "healthier" take away cafe idea & researched the whole thing completing with a full business plan (lots of work but worth it as 70% of all new businesses here fail in the first 2 years) . It was obvious the lady (not my wife who then had our first child) partner was not reliable enough to have a business with as she was always 100% late & often "needed" to leave early when we attended govt courses & when having a meeting. we both had market stalls (side by side) & she was always late there as well as unprepared. I would hold her spot & help her set up also.
Anyway I had convinced myself, my wife and woodbe partner that "APPLES" was a great name for the cafe due to the connotations associated with keeping the doctor away when eating healthy foods. I had done a business name check & one other one was in Aus so I needed to add something to the name for registration.
