The clean slate you keep buying, even though the old you handles delivery.
means A new beginning that lets you leave past mistakes, habits, or circumstances behind and try again from scratch.
from A plain English pairing: 'fresh' comes from Old English 'fersc,' meaning unsalted or pure (and a cousin of German 'frisch'), originally describing untainted water; 'start' grew from Old English 'styrtan,' to leap or move suddenly. Together they evoke setting off anew from clean ground — the phrase has been a natural fixture of everyday English for centuries rather than a single coined moment.
