I was going to shoot from the gut

This gem was said in reaction to helping a family friend, and the speaker wanted to be as spontaneous as possible.  It is a blend of two phrases, “shoot from the hip”, and “a gut reaction”, both relating to doing or saying something quickly, or immediately responding.  Of course, shooting from the gut also occurs after too much partying.  A big thank you to Nate Brogin for uttering this one and passing it on!

    Just another reference for this one in today’s news to add to your files: “(Trump) shoots straight from the gut.” http://time.com/4873955/donald-trump-youngstown-ohio-support/
