"Weigh in"

Posted by Patty on March 21, 2001

What exactly does the two-word phrase 'weigh in' mean? I rarely if ever hear people use it in speech, but I'm thinking numerous times when I've read something like "That was about the point in the discussion when Fred Jones decided to weigh in." Thanks. - Patty
