ring in
Welcome with bells
Ring in means to mark the beginning of something, especially with celebration or ceremony: ring in the new year.
The phrase evokes bells announcing an arrival.
In workplace contexts, to ring in is to clock in or record one's arrival: I ring in at eight every morning.
In Australian slang, to ring in is to substitute something fraudulently—a ringer.
