"Hobson's choice" is an old expression, but still used. It apparently actually originated with a horse stable owner named Hobson, who would give customers the choice of the horse nearest the door, or no horse at all.

Thanks Gérard for the words similar to begin. I didn't know the verb to commence
Commence is quite formal. When an exam commences for instance.

Words similar to French are often informal (also often used in laws/legal language).
