Vim and vinegar is a malapropism for the expression vim and vigor, which is a large amount of vitality and energy. A malapropism is when a word is used by mistake in place of a similar sounding word. In this case, vinegar for vigor.
Vinegars are the result of fermentation, giving the liquid its distinct smell. The use of vinegar has been recorded as far back as the third century BC. The key component to vinegar solutions is acetic acid. White vinegar is 5-10% acetic acid compared to apple cider vinegar, which is 5-6% acetic acid.
