trip your trigger

"Trip your trigger." Sparks or stimulates something that captures one's attention, drives one to want to take action, raises one's eyebrows out of curiosity or even sends one into a pseudo-orgasmic state. Growing up in the Midwest, rifles and bb guns were only used for shooting at tin cans, hunting small game for food or maybe taking down crows whose "voices" were relentless. (Yes, we did sell crows' feet for a few needed coins in those days...1950's.) Somewhere along the way, "trip your trigger" seemed nothing more than a spark that may have reminded us of a passion to "make a move" due to in-the-moment inspiration. The difference between "Trip your trigger" on remote farms in the Midwest in the 1950's vs. The World in 2017 now seems to be that of patience to exchange an empathetic response, asking what the other means prior to reacting to one's own emotionally-driven interpretation.

Based on your love of flight and aerodynamics, I'll bet I could "trip your trigger" by gifting you a drone and a ticket to participate in the races next summer in Oahu.
