It's these unoccupied moments that make me ponder profound thoughts.
A lot of people want to ignore the historical importance that a firearms have had on our culture, be it fighting for rights or fighting for self defense. I have been noticing how the firearm nomenclature is an integral part of our English language.
Below are a few examples (add more if you wish, add less if you wish):
1. If someone is honorable, he is a straight shooter.
2. His facts are suspect, he is shooting from the hip.
3. Boy those Brady guys are off the mark.
4. That's not going to work, it's a shot in the dark.
5. The IRS took everything, lock, stock, and barrel.
6. Some people tend to shoot off at the mouth.
7. When is the last time a candidate was right on target?
8. You're going to Alaska? Well keep your powder dry.
9. Never light three cigarettes off of one match (superstition).
10. Faster than a speeding bullet.
