      Haha. Judging by the last few posts, this is definitely going to be an unpopular opinion: I like "pull the trigger" and I use it regularly. I find it implies a lot about deliberation, hesitation, and eventual decision-making for a simple three word phrase.

        Given the general American relationship with triggers, I'd say it implies the exact opposite…

          I understand your point, but I don't think anyone says "I finally pulled the trigger" on a purchase, for example, to imply that they are recklessly and thoughtlessly making a decision. I think the phrase has been around long enough so that the original intention has not been supplanted by some other meaning related to the obvious gun control issues in the country.

              What is sounding "butch"?

                    Haha. I was kidding, man. I was trying to make a point that we use phrases all the time that have ambiguous or unknown origins.

                      I really love using this in the #ironic sense. And yes #hashtag usage is also #ironic :). #hashtaglyfe right @Finn666 ?

                              It looks like Roy Rogers has certainly pulled Trigger there.

                                I saw you use it the other week and have looked at you in a dimmer light ever since. Glad to hear you're not the lamp I thought you were.

                                      No, no it's always intentional 🙂 [meaning I use it when I [i]could care less :)]

                                        I'm waiting for someone to mention they have a 'hardon' for that picture  😞

                                            Not gonna lie- the soap I use is from some hipster couple in Portland and has coffee and anise in it.

                                            Your post reminded me that I'm running low, so I went to their Etsy shop. They're going out of business and have sold out of my soap, dammit.

                                            You got a link for that one, Gav?
