a shoe in means youre definitely going to achieve what youre aiming to achieve. like, one could say hes's a shoe-in for hte job; in other words, he's definitely going to get the job.
and sorry, but i dunno where it comes from exactly....but i think its a shorter way to say "shoe in the door", which has the same meaning.

A shoo-in is someone or something that is expected to win a race, election, or a game, it comes from the word 'sure'.

I'm in America so I guess we say git or go or sometimes shoo. I would just say Shoo!

It means something along the lines of "a sure bet", something you are almost guaranteed to get becuase you did such a good job during the test phase. I have know idea where it comes from. My good guess is that it comes from the phrase "sure thing".

It means its going to happen for sure. I don't know where it came from, but I always thought it was "shoe in".

It means that it is certainty that something is going to happen as predicted. Origin unknown.
