so its been so frikin serious around here i thought i bring back that silly game i call "gun talk "
no much to it just come up with a saying and its origin , example : "the whole nine yards " refers to the length of belt that was used in early machine guns[M2]
i think you folks get it and will have some fun
Lock stock and Barrel .....
the 3 major components of an early firearm ....
but you all knew that around here :-)
Shooting the Shit.
"Running around half cocked."
"Locked and loaded"
"big shot"
Jumped the trigger / Jumped the gun
a hair trigger temper
Keep your powder dry
faster than a speed bullet, does that fall in here.
"bite the bullet"
"I shot my load"....no thats something else.
I do tell me son to "Burst on target" when he uses the urinals!
Shot across the bow.
Cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.
