Hey Y'All...
Was in a conversation recently with some folks about idioms in our language and what their origins were. They were tickled to learn some of the ones that came from the shooting and hunting sports, eg... "lock, stock and barrel", "flash in the pan", "going off half-cocked", etc.
So am hoping Y'All can think of, and chime in with, some others that came from the shooting/hunting venues.
Anyone ?
