When push comes to shove
Adding insult to injury
Hitting on an idea
Deadbeat
Take a stab at it
Shot in the dark
Push over
To be brutally honest
Soften the blow
Beats me
That really bombed
Pushed over the edge
Blown away
Killer smile
Kick the bucket
Set the world on fire
Pick your battles
That really burned me
Overkill
Kicking around an idea
Get away with murder
Killing time
Punch line
If looks could kill
That kills me
Roll with the punches
Jumped the gun
Kick in the pants
Bite the bullet
The beaten path
Hit the road
That slays me
Twist your arm
Break a leg
Broken heart
Breaks my heart
Killing me softly
Knocked up
Hit up
At the end of my rope
The straw that broke the camels back
Shoot from the hip
Straight shooter
Shoot yourself in the foot
Blow up in your face
She’s a real pistol, that one
Give it a shot
Take a shot at it
Something to shoot for
Right on target
Need more ammunition
Bullet points
Take your best shot
Shoot off your mouth
Gun shy
Gunning for trouble
Under the gun
Whole shootin’ match
Shoot the breeze
Son of a gun
Shooting holes in the argument
Armed with the facts
Drop dead gorgeous
Gun the engine
Hired gun
Shooting blind
Shooting blanks
Shooting ducks in a barrel
You slay me
Ride shotgun
Traffic was murder
Moving target
Do a drive by
Bring out the big guns
Went in with guns blazin’
Keep your powder dry
Hair-trigger temper
Straight shot
Set your sights on the prize
Locked and loaded
Bang for your buck
Loose cannon
Rally the troops
Join the battle
On your radar screen
Leading the charge
Had a blast
He/she’s dynamite
Going ballistic
Old habits die hard
