Shoot from the Hip
Speak as Rachel
Speak as Trisha
Trisha: Why is that? What do you not like about him?
Rachel: Whenever he is dealing with a crisis or a difficult situation, he just shoots from the hip.
Trisha: I've never heard that expression. What does ‘shoot from the hip' mean?
Rachel: It means that he doesn't plan well or have a strategy. He just reacts suddenly and recklessly. It's like shooting a gun without aiming.
Trisha: That describes our President perfectly. But some people like that style.
Rachel: I know that some people like that, but I am not one of them. I can't stand it.
Trisha: I feel the same way. Anyway, let's not talk about politics. Let's talk about something else.
