  Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Alrighty, those old saynts, phrases and idioms,

  Speaker 1: started that? Anyway? I mean, come on, your family and

  Speaker 1: makes sense othertimes and it doesn't really Who, what, where, why, when?

  Speaker 1: reserve not only a language, but lessons in life. Something
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: our parents would say, my name is Arrow, shooting from
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the hip. It's looked upon as being a literal phrase.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: It's how we see it as well as say it.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: That affects the way that we act and or think.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, it absolutely originated from the American Old West
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: very early in the twentieth century, and it involved gunfighting
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: and the military in training. To shoot from the hip
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: means firing a handgun without aiming down its sights. It
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: was faster, instinctive, and all too often necessary in close combat.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: But but, but but but far less accurate shooting from
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the hip. How did it become part of our everyday
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: street speak? It's a literal phrase. Shooting from the hip
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: is speaking on impulse. It's acting out without planning things out.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: When we make a decision based upon an instinct, its
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: speeds are precision. Shooting from the hip has changed us
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: psychologically as well as culturally. People of authority speak fast.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: If there's a hesitation, it kind of shows off a weakness.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Correcting the situation is something we're going to do later on.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Shooting from the hip was once seen as a tactical necessity.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: In fact, today it's a communication style. Lots of unexpected misunderstandings.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Oh my god, there's polarization and regret. Shooting from the
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: hip physically blurs courage and recklessness. It is in bold,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: nor is it seen as being confident, shooting from the hip,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: something our parents would say. My name is Arrow.
