सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The phrase is often used in sports journalism, especially in football or ice hockey, when a player scores a crucial goal. There was a popular TV game show in the 90s called 'Trefa do černého' which helped popularize the phrase among the younger generation. The tradition of 'střelecké slavnosti' (shooting festivals) is common in the Czech Republic, Germany, and Austria, which is why they share this idiom. In Czech business meetings, using this phrase is a way to show you are impressed by a colleague's insight without being overly formal.
