"The metaphoric phrase "(to) raise the bar," or "raising the bar," is an expression used to convey the idea of gradually setting the accepted minimum standards higher in order to reach an objective of excellence. As metaphors go, this is one that is still very true to its origin, and relatively transparent in its meaning."
