Phrase to jump the gun
Text In this podcast, the phrase "to jump the gun" means to do something too early, before it is really necessary: "They jumped the gun by buying their four-year-old daughter a really expensive violin before they even knew whether she would enjoy playing it." The phrase "to stick to (one's) guns" means to continue to believe that one's own opinion is correct and not change it, even though other people think one should: "Everyone else likes Option B, but I'm sticking to my guns. I still think Option A is best." Finally, the phrase "with all guns blazing" means with a lot of energy, noise, and excitement: "The team members did their work with all guns blazing."
