fall like dominoes. To fall sequentially, as when one
object in a line, by falling against the next object,
causes it in turn to fall, and that second object causes a
third to fall, etc.; the process can be repeated an
indefinite number of times.
Note: The phrase is derived from an entertainment using
dominoes arranged in a row, each standing on edge and
therefore easily knocked over; when the first is made
to fall against the next, it starts a sequence which
ends when all have fallen. For amusement, people have
arranged such sequences involving thousands of
dominoes, arrayed in fanciful patterns.
